I really don't know.
















People have told me it's a "98" of some persuasion. I measure 42" overall, which I'm told is short for a mauser. The barrel measures 21 3/8" from the front of the receiver. Googling brings up terms like, "Standard Model" or, "Post Office Model", but I'm not sure it fits neatly into any of those boxes.

All I know is that Rockchucker trolled me past a pawn shop in '15, and I left there with the thing under my arm. I had a fella put a taller front blade on it, on account of it shot way high. It feels great in hand, and I still need to bloody it.
