Well I feel so stupid, the rear sight starts at 400 meters not 100 meters. For some reason I thought it was 100 meter sight. That explains why it shoots so high Haha.

Ok I also have another question related to the rear sights of this rifle. I was always under the assumption that you dont stand the rear sight up. But I've seen people do both, why is that? Is one way correct and the other isnt?

Yeah I guess that would be one way to make the front sight taller. Just want sure if these rifles were meant to have the sights held a certain way.

I picked up a beautiful 1891 Argentine mauser that was made in 1899. Someone reblued it at some point other than that there isnt much wrong with it, clean bore. All around it's a beautiful gun. I actually plan on using it on a hog hunt this Aug, I wana let the old girl have some fun again. I...

Couple more pics of the barrel stamps.

Well I have cool news. I let the gun sit with a little penetrating oil on that screw for a day. I actually used my impact with the correct bit. I taped the throttle once and saw the screw move. I then was able to get it out with a screw driver! Once I removed the barrel I could not see any...

Ok well I look a little closer and was able to find a few markings.

Ok that is what I thought you were referring to. I dont recall seeing any stamp there so I thought maybe you were talking about another part of the gun. I'll take a good hard look again tonight. As far as disassembly, I've taken many rifles apart so it's not my first. I've done a few vintage so...

As far as the "wrist" part, what or where is that exaclty? I've not heard of that term with a gun before. I'll every so carefully see if it will come apart easily. If not ill leave it alone. I'm very curious now.

Ok, I took a couple pics. Some of the back side of the bolt, the top of the butt plate and the side of the stock.

Ok I'll look at the bottom of the bolt handle when I get home. What will the acceptance and fireproof markings tell you? I'm not sure what they tell or say about the gun? I just assumed that if the numbers all matched it was good. Sorry, I'm still learning.

Ok what I thought, thank you guys for quick responses. I have a lot to learn about this rilfe and mausers in general. I also just picked up a beautiful 1891 Argentine mauser made in 1899 all matching except cleaning rod. As far as the bolt take down area on the stock, I thought that was only on...

Yeah they way it was off made me think it was just a accident. And this makes me feel better, just wish the cleaning rod was with it. Would the rod have the full serial number or just "20"? So this rilfe isnt considered a k98? Also I paid $449 for it how bad of a price do you think this was? I...

As far as the bore goes, it's very dirty. The store labeled it as poor. I'm going to run a cleaning rod though it and see how it comes out. As far as the stock number is this not ththe origional stock or did the person that stamped it screw up? It would be one hell of a coincidence to find a...

The rest of the photos, wish it would let me attach them to the origional post.

Hi I'm new here and this is my first post hope it's in the correct spot. First off my name is scooter and I love war relics and anything war related. I love old military rifles, the stories they could tell if they could talk is what draws me to them. I've always loved mausers but never really...
