Recent auction pickup this 1895 mauser in the C block.Made by DWM. no stock marks, small insp stamp in front of the C. Mismatched straight bolt. Is this one of the Boer rifles that never made it?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Hi jmoore! It's nice to be missed!

Two weeks on the Galapagos islands - the only old bangers I saw were a percussion pistol and a side-by-side hammer shotgun. Both of which I would not have dared to fire!

You were conspicuous in your absence Patrick -
Hope you had a nice time. Did you take any pictures?

If I had been using a roll-film camera, it would have been expensive! When I have downloaded the lot and removed gigabytes of trash, maybe I will have one worth posting on the Watering Hole forum.

Any way, getting back on topic: bayonet, take a look at the thread on "Mysterious Mauser Marking" for my Boer Mauser. One originally similar to yours, but shortened by Mynheer TS (or ST) to make a carbine (easier to use on horseback!).

Ok I am a new member because I just got gifted one just like this, C 3xxx, and the front stock chopped to the swivel, no rod. The guy who had it said it shot fine before other projects became more important. I will post pics next week. What is this thing? and is it worth keeping as is or using as the base for a ghetto scout rifle project?

**Patrick Chadwick** · 07-01-2011 02:01 PM

I cannot provide a useful evaluation without any pics. As you have already discovered, C 3xxx puts it in the "suspicious" range. Study the previous posts, search for "boer", and you will have a much better idiea of what your rifle is.

Check the "Similar Threads" box at the bottom of this thread, or click the "boer" tag below.

It DOES require scrolling down a little!

This looks like a good thread to start, but y'all sort it- I'm not a "Mauser guy", just happen to have a few!:
