It appears that the engraving is top quality and hope some of the engravers that watch this forum might comment on it.
I've never had bottom metal that inspired the start of a custom rifle but yours would definitely do that.

It does look like a commercial one, maybe a replacement, bending the military one often doesn't satisfy the customer because it looks short. It would be interesting to see the top of it, where it joins the bolt.

Dennis,
It doesn't take much to inspire building another rifle. I have done it, after finding a set of loading dies, and another because of finding some ammo.

Here are some pictures of the topside of the bolt. From what I understand this project was started years ago, barrel unfired, just did not get stocked. Sold before completed.

What are your thoughts of the pictures of the bolt as far as modification?

It looks like an original Mauser Oberndorf bolt, it has part of the proof marks left, can't tell if the rest were cleaned up after welding, or to remove rust. It is not numbered to the action, anyway, so it was "born" with another rifle. I'm not one that goes crazy over mismatched numbers if the action has been or will be rebarreled. It will be headspaced to the new barrel, anyway.

The receiver is definetly a military Mauser Standard Model.
The markings on the left receiver sidewall found on this specimen is not uncommon.
The Standard Models showed from the beginning of their life the commercial proofmarks.
The bolt looks for me as a typical unaltered commercial bolt(pear shaped bolt knob, long striker nut and the root of the bolt handle).
The bottom metal often to be seen on Ferlach (and sometimes Suhl) made Mausers. Never an Oberndorf made feature in that configuration.
Summing it up: A mixture of different parts.

Weimi,
Thanks for reminding me the Standard Model had commercial proofs, I should have remembered that.

Thanks guys. Based on the latest information. What is the value of this barreled action?
