What model is this

(1/2) > >>

JohnC:
I am looking to buy a German Mauser 30-06, Mannlicher stock, double trigger with a pushpin device inside trigger guard, and a levered trap door. I cannot find a serial number or any other identifying information. I would like to know the model and any other observations so I can confirm the asking price.

DAK:
Please post pictures of the rifle you are considering.  If it is 30-06, it is likely a sporterized military rifle.  The lack of a serial number is also evidence of this.

Warbird:
Wouldn't it be illegal to buy (or sell) any firearm without a serial number?  If it is, you could be exposing yourself to a world of legal problems.

DAK:
No.  The Gun Control Act of 1968 required all newly-manufactured firearms to bear a serial number.  Any weapons made before 1968 were "grandfathered" in.  If they did not have a serial number when they were made, they did not need one added.  The majority of sporterized Mausers were done before 1968.  By the 1970s, a collecting community emerged and rifles in original condition started to increase in value, making the process of sporterization foolish from a money perspective.
