Steyr G.29/40 8mm SN: 9959a
Austrian made Mauser 98 model G29/40 battle rifle dated 1940 with a 12.5" barrel, sporterized military stock, later Mauser made bottom metal and floorplate, mismatched bolt, aftermarket rear sight and steel buttplate. Metal finish is overall good with some high point edge wear. The barrel and receiver look like they have been reblued. Buttplate is worn to in-the-white and has some surface rust. No import mark. The wood stock has a repaired crack running from the top tang back and then turning to follow the grain of the wood. It also bears many small scratches and dings, a void where the rear sling swivel was and a man-made hole on the bottom of the forearm. It has also probably been refinished. The bore has good rifling but also has what may be rust or pitting just inside the muzzle. The action works well. Condition is fair to good. *Modern Firearm C&R*
