Just completed salt bluing a 1937 S/42. BUT.......this one was a first! Guess why?

No Mauser bump??

Thor · 12-03-2004, 09:12 PM

Nope, but good guess! It is much more striking a difference than that!

Railsplitter · 12-03-2004, 09:54 PM

It came out plum??

Salt blued with strawed parts? KFS

Thor · 12-03-2004, 10:52 PM

Nope, think BIG!

* Did you finally do one for yourself that you own??

* Or was it a K98k??

Bob, I'll be very surprised if you're not correct about it being a K98k. I've recently purchased a couple of these rifles, and they have many of the same codes as the WWII Lugers. Good job!

BINGO, you are right! IT is a Mod 98 Mauser Rifle. Good detective work!

Ted, Post some pictures. I have a 1937 Mauser 340B target 22 I'd love to have you restore! It's a mini-me K98.
