Thanks Ed & Enfield 303t, I have decided NOT to make the trade. I know i will be sorry if i do!!
I will keep looking for a `42 or `44 LB, perhaps i`ll get lucky. Had the Mauser to the range on
the weekend & it just shoots too damn nice to part with.
There is a number on the left side of the steel roundell which passes thru the butt of the stock -- N 33934 k -- do you know what it means?
best
Phil.
