well whats your guess?

[Mark W.]

I will be receiving the rifle shown in the photo below in a week or two.

The kid I am buying it from decided that rather then try to answer the 20 questions I wanted him to answer before I sent him any money it would just be easier to throw it in on a trade I am making for a Winchester 1906 pump .22 he has. COOL I like free things.

All he knows is that its a Mauser action and was found in an attic with 4 other very normal looking stock military Mauser's. No idea of chamber/caliber if the bolt has been headspaced nothing. All info I have on it except that the barrel is approx. 1.250" in diameter can be gathered from the photo shown here. Oh he also has all the bottom metal and trigger assembly not show in the photo.

I know squat Mauser's aside from reputations. I would assume from the kids and the kids dads estimate of when the rifles were put in the attic (a house they were working on ownership transfered when the home owner gave the rifles to the kid and his dad) at somewhere in the 60's.

It appears to be some sort of bench rifle project. The kid thought the barrel which is in white could be stainless. Not so sure about that!

So anyone want to play "Whats your guess?"
