I bought this interesting looking mauser rifle and would like to know more bout the history. It does not look like Bubba chopped it down but the metal has been painted black. It looks original, but some of the markings are obscured by the paint. Some of the markings I could not find in Terrence Lapin's book on Mauser markings. I do not plan on shooting my relics like this, but truely want to preserve their history.
This is my first posting. I am trying to upload some photos, so hopefully I have done it correctly.
