Waffenfabrik mauser oberndorf rifle3/29/2024 ![]() I do have a disappointing opinion for you however. I especially like the stock which is a beauty! A bit nicer design in the forend than I've noted before on most type "A" models. Thanks for the interesting photos of your rifle which for what is shown seem quite clear (at least to aged eyes). "Is this the party to whom I'm speaking?" (For interest the rifle shown is an all original Obefrndorf "Intermediate" action in, of course, 7x57. Good luck!Ī few pix showing a representative “B” model and the ‘pear shape’ bolt handle characteristic of the commercial Oberndorf genre. If original and priced right you might consider moving on it soon. Yet as you remark, the non-tapped receiver is primo in 'suggesting' originality! Pushing a century in existence, unfortunately alterations are more likely than not. As you are likely aware, slight alterations or damage can remarkably depreciate value. I do suggest that you (or someone qualified) look at it closely. “Unmolested’, likely it is a highly desirable gun. If it is a Stoeger number, the almost certainly type “B”. Likely the later, but a photo would be good to assist in determining the exact model. It may be either a Type “A” (higher grade ) or Type “B”. In that vintage, the rear of the receiver ring is probably notched for the longer 30-06 cartridges. Such is the so-called Standard Length action and unless the chamber has been altered, it is just as it is marked, in standard 30-06. Your rifle is not a “K” type, which was the shortest action length and intended therefore for short cartridges. There were a number of these rifles within a hundred serial numbers or so of yours that came into the States as Stoeger Imports. I believe that your Oberndorf Mauser is very early post WWI manufacture.
