Oberndorf Stock

[fiocchi]

for sale is an early pre war oberndorf sporter stock from an intermediate large ring m98. It will also sit a standard m98 large ring. No buttplate but as it's only a 13" lop it's probably a good thing as a nice orange silvers pad can be fitted to take lop out to 14"-14.5". Overall great condition,
Inlet partially for bolt handle.

Make me a sensible offer.

Nice looking stock- too bad it was notched for the bolt handle. The bolt handle on the 1916 M98 that I have is turned down over the stock.

 

[fiocchi]

In a way yes and no. I suspect it was maybe build with clawmounts at a later date and bolt handle set back. On the positive note, if building a classic oberndorf sporter with a scope, it's not going to hurt putting a round rasp to a stock in perfect original condition. Hence, without buttplate this really makes for an ideal classic sporter project.

I was offered $250 US yesterday and that sets the mark. I've not heard back from the prospective buyer yet so it's still for sale of course.

Seems still for sale

 

[fiocchi]

Still for sale due to complete time waster.

$200 US plus postage gets it

 

[fiocchi]

bump or offers please

I consider the price way high for a stock lacking hardware and appears to have been altered. JMO.

 

[fiocchi]

Ray, i suggest keeping opinions to yourself as you clearly don't know that a 1912 original oberndorf sporter stock is quite a nice platform to build a new or refurb classic sporter on. They usually trade around $300.

It's also virtually impossible to find an original oberndorf stock for the rare intermediate length action. I realise buttplate is missing but at an original 13" lop, 99% would want a classic 1" orange silvers pad on anyway,
The bolt handle notch means one doesn't have to worry about altering a pure open sight stock and the bolt handle can be sat at an angle allowing a very low scope mount which actually works with the steep drop comb.

Opinions are of course like as***oles, everyone has one

I stated why I considered the price too high. You could have responded with clarification of the issues and given some evidence to support the higher price. Instead you----

$175 US plus postage

$125 US plus postage, final offer. I'm sure I'll get near double or more on ebay/gunbroker so will resort to there but thought I'd avoid the awful marketplace hassle and put this final offer out there if anyone is/is still interested.

Would you ship to Australia?

 

[fiocchi]

Hi,

As long as we can agree on postage charges which we can start looking into, yes, of course

 

[fiocchi]

Looks like parcelhero can do around £40 sterling, but I'll need I check exact dimensions and know your postcode, address, etc for a final quote. So approx 140 pounds sterling or $235 Australian dollars for the total package including postage depending on confirmation of address for an exact shipping quote.

 

[Mark R]

Thanks so much for the reply. It looks as though the intermediate action will slightly differ from the large ring Mauser action and there will be a gap at the front of the receiver ring.

Cheers,
Mark.

One thing is for sure and that is the wood looks nice in the pictures.

 

[fiocchi]

I'll try and take a picture to show the excess gap but it's tiny, if you glass bed with brown acraglass it becomes virtually irrelevant

 

[Mark R]

Ok, thanks.

 

[Ray B]

From its original configuration has had a notch cut for a turned-down bolt handle and now its getting glass bedded. So does this still qualify as original and demand collectible prices?

 

[fiocchi]

Pics showing the small gap from a large ring in intermediate stock. Like I said, if glass bedding in brown, even clear, this will be virtually invisible as you'd remove wood around the front ring anyway
