Thread: One of the unusual ones

I like things that are a little bit odd. I picked this up a little while ago at lgs. It doesn't have a model no on it but the closest thing I can find to it is a mauser ms420. It just has mauser werk on it. It differs to the 420s I've seen pics of as the fore stock is different. This one has no rear sight but has what looks like an original aperture sight that fits on the dove tail grooves on the receiver. It also has a place for a safety but when I had it out of the stock it looks like its never had one fitted to it. I presume this may have been a target rifle. Another strange thing about it is the front sling swivel can screw up and put tension on the front of the fore stock kind of like an adjustable pressure point. The bolt has a really short throw as well
