New to Me M/937B

[RossMkIIEnjoyer]

I bought this from Centerfire as one with a non-matching bolt. They have all matching rifles but I've got too many irons in the fire right now to drop that kind of cash. The bolt matches itself but the buttplate has a different serial on it as well. Barrel on this is pretty good, rifling looks very sharp and there is minor, shallow pitting in the grooves for a milsurp. Overall, I'm pleased. It is effectively a Kar 98k with a Portuguese crest on the front receiver ring. It is the smoothest 98 I've handled. It probably saw some peacetime use in Portugal, Mozambique or Angola, maybe was used in the Colonial War before the G3 was readily available?
