This was such a good thread I couldn't let it die, so today I picked up a .270 built on a 1948 FN barreled action with a "Chrome Vanadium Steel" barrel, a vintage Weaver scope in Bueller mounts, and, unfortunately, a left-handed Monte Carlo stock. The stock will either be replaced or the cheekpiece rasped off.
I don't know yet if it's a C or an H, but I decided to take my chances.
NOW I can quit buying rifles!
What fresh Hell is this?

This one has a low serial number, below 2500, so I should be "safe"!

It's threads like this that I really enjoy. So much quality information for those of us that don't know squat about Mauser actions.
Much appreciated.
