The Mauser turned out to be somewhat different then described.
It is a J.C. Higgins .30-06 with the barreled action (Mauser 98)made by FN of Belgium. It is the commercial action, without the cut-out for loading clips. The cartridges load one at a time. Pictures coming soon!!!!
Don't know who made the stock, but it is straight grained walnut, and looks pretty nice. It wears a Noble scope. Nice looking rig!!!! I'm getting it tomorrow for $225. Seems like a good buy....much better then a homemade rig!!! The bluing on the frame and barrel look kind of dull, sort of like a military rifle. The stock is dark walnut, with a varnish finish, I guess.
If anybody knows more about these rifles, please enlighten me. I think I did OK, and got a good, old fashioned, quality rifle at a good price. Now, I have to save my pennies....for some ammo!!!
