Help With 1940 237 Army Or Navy?

Interesting.
Were there any KM accepted rifle that were diverted to the Heer?
I have a 237 1940 g block rifle that is M marked on the stock, but has an unmarked take-down disc.
The rifle ended up in Norway at some point, and was a surrender weapon at end of WW2, and went into the Norwegian Navy, so stayed in 7.92 and is thus assumed a 'double' Navy issue.

Please check again your stock, usually there shouldn't be a e/M at your Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik stock. It would suit to a "243 1940" Mauser Berlin in the "g" block. There was some Mauser Berlin Kriegsmarine deliveries in 1940.
 
Is this the rifle from GunsInternational yesterday? How's the muzzle look in person? From the photo, it looked damaged.

Sorry, I meant to write 243 1940 g block, with a M stock and unmarked butt disc... but the OP writing 237 added to the fact my other K98k I own is a 237 oft leads to confusion in my old age :giggle:
