    I got a mint rifle from a member here. Thanks.
    But as things would have it i can not leave it alone. So after a few years of looking at it.
    I wanted to refinish the stock as the 50's rebuild has some varnish that was pealing.
    So pulled it down fixed the few spots of blued that was rubbed with some Ospho Blue. Cleaned it well with denatured alcohol. Heated the metal in summer heat on my deck in full sun. I cannot even see where the touch up is done or on the butt plate.
    Then sanded the finish off the stock. Was late so hit Wal_Mart as I need some stuff for the home as well. And they had a can of "Red-ish" stain, on closeout at $1.00, even so, was $1.10 with tax, Yes strange red tag price. Anyway, it was a very close match. To what was on it. And put 2 coats. After Dry, i did some BLO I had in coats over a 2 week deal everyday. Like I did with my Garand.
    So after all done was $1.10 as i had the BLO and Blue Bronwells on the self. And looks good

    A member and I were talking about Surplus Rifles as that is his thing I have a few.
    This is what happened to my Mauser before I owned it. My Guess is Squib but did have a friend who did this same thing to his 12Ga when he had a cleaning rod stuck in it and tried to beat the stuck rod out. It was on one of those old wood gun racks with the rod sticking out.
    I do have a mint new barrel for it.
    I did score a nice take-off barrel someone had since they made a sporter in the 50 just need to have it swapped.
    I know someone was kucky who shot it and bulged the old barrel.
    But also lucky for me as my dad gave 20 bucks for the gun as the barrel was bad.
