His grandson confirmed that him and his wife had vacationed to Europe every winter from 1930 to about 1937 for skiing. The stock has an oval inlaid in the toe line that has his name engraved in it. I say 1930s due to the history of the rifle that I know. Partials of this number are on the trigger guard assembly by triggers, floor plate and underside of lever floor plate release.Īs you can see, some parts are double stamped and some parts, like the trigger kickoff piece has the original receiver number suggesting the action was originally a sporting action. This full number is on the bottom of the barrel. The finished serial number that is on the right side of the receiver ring is 182681. Partials of this number are on the bolt, bolt shroud, safety, cocking piece, floor plate, trigger sear and the double set kickoff piece. This full number is also on the back of the mag box. The number on the bottom of receiver is 44597. I will get photos up when I get the chance. But I thought Sauer was making their own actions as well.Įither way, the action had one number and then the second number was put on it when the rifle was finished.
Or was the action maybe sold to Sauer by Oberndorf as a sporting action meant to be assembled by Sauer in their own way. I wonder, is the action maybe one originally built for Military use and then built into a sporter by Sauer. As most military action serial numbers are on the side of the receiver, at least visible with the stock on it. What is odd is the location of that second serial number.
As would a numbers-matching military rifle. This second number or at least the last few digits of it are also found on the Bolt, shroud, safety and cocking piece. On the right side of the receiver ring is a stamped serial number, and this same number is on the bottom of the Octagon/round Krupp barrel.īut there is also a different serial number on the bottom of the receiver behind the recoil lug.
I have a JP Sauer mauser 98 Sporting Rifle from the 1930s.
