I did see it but it "smelt" a bit. The replacement bolt wasn't an Oberndorf one. No disrespect to Hugh Bradley who does a lot of fine gunsmithing, but he knows bugger all about genuine Mauser sporting rifles. I gave up on him after he repeatedly tried to tell me the "B U G" proof marks were British, and tried to tell me an "intermediate" bolt would fit a kurz. It would too if it was cut in half and a bit taken from the middle. End of rant.

I also noticed the odd shaped bolt knob - was wondering about that.

I have 3006 1956 I think. Interesting to compare alongside 1955 Win Mod 70 3006, same era era different sides of iron curtain..

Very similar to the BSA Hunter stock
I still have one BSA - an ex 7x57 re-barreled with fluted 270 Weatherby barrel
Stock again very sim to this
Has an issue see if you can spot it - not you @Frodo :-)

Don't stress - the sling swivel has been pulled out more than once I think and it was only for pics

Broken through the stock? Looks pinned. Not keen on the checkering

Checkering being dots you mean ??
Lovely rifle to handle - but not used

I do like the different safety.

Thanks - I will pass on that offer to the young chap who I am intending giving this BSA Featherweight too.
