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.
