Mauser

[catman]

Ok Col, I wonder if you can help me with a Mauser I bought a couple of years ago.

On top of the chamber it is stamped CARL GUSTAFS STADS GENVARSFAKTORI 1917. On the left side of the chamber it is stamped H.K. 405230. The lower stock is all walnut and the upper stock is I think a verity of Maple. Just forward of the bayonet lug it is stamped SAMCO MIA FL M96 6.5X55 SWEDEN.

A very beautiful gun and nice to shoot as well.
