... Hard to believe they'd deface that lovely barrel by adding all that stamping just to remind you it has an octagon barrel.

9.3 x 57 Very cool old rifle! Did you do the work?

Thanks Rev! Put a new bolt handle on it. It was in good shape when I got it. Didn't require much. The bolt handle that was on it was a little Dinky thing. I found this handle in a box of scrap at work. Came off an old Mark X Mauser. It had actually been broken off the bolt body!!! Never ceases to amaze me what people will do to their rifles!

I like it! A neat rifle in a neat old caliber. Nice fence post too!!
By the way, nice cutters on that boar. Mess up and that fellow could hurt you.

Thanks! Was doing some ranch work that weekend. Walked up on that old boar in some off time. Got his head in the freezer. May get his skull out. Dunno?

They are awfully addicting. Always looking for the next, more perfect, one.
This one is the latest and needs a big furry fence post desperately.
