Bluing remains very nice. Great rifle. Thanks for sharing.

Nice hit. I'd call that 'matching to the screws' and it looks to be in pretty nice carried condition. The double b block butt plate is kinda cool I think.

 

[RavenOps]

Well done. Handsome rifle.

Nice rifle… gotta love a 1940 Oberndorf

That's a stunner for your first matching mauser, congrats! Would be curious to see the stock date on this one.

Congrats on your self-restraint, I’ve been unable to resist sporter rescues, parts rifles & ‘almost all matching’ rifles as I seek whatever my ‘holy grail’ will turn out to be……..NICE! & thanks for sharing!

The stock would be dated in the barrel channel for 1940 rifles, not under the buttplate as seen in later rifles. I believe the changeover was in 1941 with the introduction of the cupped buttplate.

Would the serial on the stock also be on the area under pistol grip of stock called "keel" on a 1940 42 code rifle. My 1940 Borsigwalde 243 98k has the serial stamped there also.
