I hear you on all counts, but I thought it was a nice rifle. Certainly Wouldnt want to pay 2K for it, but thats how bidding goes sometimes. Id have put several hundred more on that first Mauser for sure. All these are reasons I am glad that most times I ignore these rifles because Im a lefty.

I thought this was sweet 284 I would have cut it to a normal length with an ebony tip on the forend. If that rifle is a Jaeger, it is the first one I have seen without the unusual Jaeger cheek piece:

It did say in the GB ad that the barrel is marked Jaeger but that doesn't mean it hasn't been restocked.

I hear you Dan, however we may be looking at some slight of hand or words. The seller said, ".....on a what is a Paul Jaeger custom Mannlicher stocked rifle in .284 winchester. That is marked on the barrel and what was told to me by the previous owner." What is marked? Paul Jaeger or 284 winchester? Now the seller shows a pic of the barrel stamping for the 284 Win, but no pic of any other markings. Now they were using the Jaeger name as a selling point, won't you think they would proudly show it? Just saying....he's not lying but certainly not very clear.

snobble cap + skeleton grip cap + skeleton butt plate....are brass? never seen anything similar....and they don't look like jaeger quality. and as stated earlier - never seen a jaeger sans checkering.

Thanks for sharing the above link. Quite interesting and I have not seen that catalog before as I remember. On page 21 it talks about the "Jaeger M1 Safety". I know I have never seen one of these before. Curious does anyone know about these, have a rifle with one on it, or how it functioned? I would be interested in learning more. Thanks

Thanks I got one in a parts grouping a couple of years ago. I have not put it on a rifle yet. It seems to be a three position safety above is the fire position, above is on safe. In the above position, I believe that the bolt can be operated but the firing pin cannot move forward.
