I took the stock off this afternoon and began cleaning th wood and metal. I am not familiar with Swedish sporters and found a few things that puzzled me. The first was the safety. It's aftermarket, but who made it?

The, there was the stock. Who made it? I posed this question on the Mauser forum here.

More on the stock.

So I cleaned the preservative and upteen years of dirt, dust and crud from the metal and the wood. The rifle is somewhat of a mystery to me. I am hoping that I find out more about her as time goes on. The stock is bedded and the barrel is free floated.

I included this. A picture of the wood that was added to return the stok to the correct length for an adult to shoulder it. The flash really highlights the difference in the wood, but there is almost no difference in the colour when looking at it in natural light. It is approximately 1.5 inches thick.
