That is a beautiful rifle! Let me know when you are done with it.... so I can have a turn.
Will do. The best part is that it is surprisingly light too. Only 7.75 pounds loaded and scoped.

The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation. I can tell you deliverance will not come from the rushing noisy centers of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. Fridtjof Nansen
They come up for sale every now and then. I bought that one off ebay back when you could buy and sell gunparts on there. I bought another on gunbroker and found another one on accurate reloading.
Darn, just when I thought this thread was fading away. Beautiful rigs guys. Here's one more, a BYF-44 I've had for a while. Bought the barreled action on a real bad Bubba stock and my friend took it from there. 8x57 original stepped barrel...
Nice 94/14 ! I have it's twin, all original with bayo. Picked it up at a flea market in Vermont for 75 bucks a long time ago. I even have the sling.
yea, this one is completely matching numbers, including the stock/handgard. the nose cap was also stamped to match. it does have the muzzle wart though...

>Seeking an original Oberndorf Mauser sporting stock.<
A question on the Oberndorf sporters: Were they equipped with that blasted barleycorn front sight?
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
Here is a really neat custom built from second's and worn out parts. Legacy commercial M98 action with integral mounts and SunnyHill rings. I bought this when Legacy closed them out. The blank was a Luxus second and the barrel was a worn out "guild" barrel 1/2 octagon 1/2 round with a full integral rib. After re-bore it's now a .338-06

Even with all them junk and wore out parts you still have probly 50 to 75 dollars in it. So I'll give you one chance to double your money.

General observation that there are some very nice rifles shown in this thread! Joe: The typical Oberndorf Mauser(OM) sporting rifle front sight was a dovetailed bead set on a ramp. There were exceptions. Production quite early in the century and also just after WWI sometimes did utilize the military style inverted �V� post sight. Such was also common on the Model �C� sporter, a competitively priced quasi-military style OM sporting model.
Below is a typical bead sight affixed to the barrel of this OM type "A" barreled action awaiting a suitable OM stock. Manufactured in 1930, it is in transition from the original 10.75x68 to the more popular and useful 404 Jeffery (10.75 x 73).
