Is that true, even if the rifle can be documented by the maker as commercial sale (1908 in this case) not military surplus?

What's a thumb recess do? Make it particularly dangerous? All the sinister stuff that's for sale and an old bolt gun is banned? Please explain.

BATF says no thumb recess Mauser can be imported. Probably because of speed loading. Makes no sense but then it's the government.

Thanks Mike. Another dumb rule.

The Blakemore I got from you a couple of years ago is looking and shooting good. Where did that gun come from? The flat top checkering was filled with sand. Took a week with a dental pick to clean out the checkering. All good now.

I seem to make little headway in this endeavor but I'll say it one more time.

The so called "Thumb-Cut" found on the left side rail of a Mauser has nothing to do with loading the rifle. This is found on both commercial and military rifles.

Hammergun it came from England direct to me. Don't know where the sand came from.
