    Mauser Identification

    Hi everybody, I am new and I am trying to identify what kind of Mauser I have, I currently believe it a mixed bag of parts, but identifying them would be great!

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Looks like a JP Sauer Mod98 Mauser. Need close up of top of receiver, but that is what I can make out.

    Would you happen to know what the marking is under the barrel that looks like it says 115 and has a star with what looks like a pickaxe or a T? I am also curious about the bolt it has a small circle with an Z in a circle and two more imprints I forgot to picture. And thanks for the cross check, this is the same manufacture I found as well.

    Question

    If the bolt is all matching then it is from a Czechicon rifle, probably a dot code. It looks like is is a later war made bolt, but your photos leave a lot to be desired for ID.

    I think he means a bit closer, maybe with a plain background. Don't use a light colored backing and no pattern. Natural light is also best for pics like this.

    Yes. I have one, a Russianicon Capture, with the same markings on the top of the receiver. JP Sauer & Sohn
    If there ain't a gun range in heaven, then I'm going to hell.
