My first buy sailed through just fine over Christmas. I linked my FFL's website and all was good. He retired Jan 1 so I had a hiccup with my new FFL (wrong email address) for my recent order so met with him today and they sorted it. Three more coming. Never understood the urgency...

I ordered one Thursday night a week ago, went to my FFL Friday morning and had them send their FFL. Nothing, so I emailed them Tuesday and got a response saying it would ship that day. The status never changed so I called them Wednesday and they told me it would ship that day or the next. I finally got a UPS notification yesterday showing it was shipped. They aren’t very quick shipping or either overwhelmed. They do not change the status...

Picked mine up today. They forgot to charge me shipping charged my card 499.00$.The rail is attached. I'll remove clean every thing up with degreaser and remount with blue loctite.
There was no manual or warranty info in the box. Did anyone else get the manual and warranty card?
The trigger is the lightest I've ever seen. The quality of the rifle seems pretty good. I like the safety very much.

It had a hang tag on the trigger guard from Connecticut Shotgun with the model number and serial no. written on it. Maybe it was a demo or floor display. I wonder if I should call standard or Mauser to get a manual. I'll probably email Mauser

Agree, crazy trigger. No questions a fine rifle which is why three more are incoming for Christmas 2021 for my three sons.

Yes got it in my email, as far as urgency? from previous post I’m really in no hurry for the rifle but when they have been paid for the product it shouldn’t take nearly a week to get it shipped. That’s all.

You boys are going to be happy.

Gents - is the entire trigger mechanism attached to the action by the single, large hex-headed screw on the bottom, just forward the trigger itself? I don't see the normal pin set up from a Remington or a m98. (Asking before I do something stupid!)

Is the trigger guard some type of metal, aluminum or polymer?

The bottom metal is supposed to be all steel (one piece including the guard.) The mag is polymer.

Correction: based on magnet test: Steel - barreled action, bolt, recoil lug, action screws Aluminum - bottom metal, bolt knob I'd based my previous answer on a European review from 2019 but the US version of these rifles clearly have some differences (not threaded, not stainless barrels, etc.). Sending the barreled action, bolt and screws off to H&M tomorrow. PS - that hex bolt does attach the entire trigger mechanism. 1000x more convenient than punching pins. And id assume extra hardness from nitriding will make all three screws much harder to strip.

Anybody else thinking about painting the stock? I hate black stocks on blued rifles.

One other question. How is the barrel attached to the receiver? It doesn’t appear to be threaded and possibly is press fit? Anyone know for sure?

Got an email from UPS this morning. Rifle is supposed to be here Thursday.
I'm considering painting the stock as well. Is the entire thing "rubberized" or just the "checkered" grip areas?
