Oh no, it will not be fired. I just want to get it checked out to prove the theory right or wrong. I would bet that the stock and rifle were not a match. I can invision 2 soldiers striking a bargain, with one taking the tooled metal, and the other the stock. We will likely never know...

The stock is not the original and then carved. Appears it was made from scratch. It should have the upper part with the metal strap over the barrel after the chamber as well as a groove along each side. I noticed the markings on the barrel later as well. I will try to get a better pic next time I am...

Thank you, will do.

When I find out more, I will post here.

Mike,

Thank you! You are awesome.

If it is meant to injure, most likely not sabotaged by original owner. It was found near a trail somewhere in Europe. It would have been a great set up. Or it could just simply be malfunctioning.

Just to add a little more spice.... My great uncle claimed that it is a sabotaged rifle. The bolt flies back and impacts the user's face with force enough to kill or maim when fired. Was this a Psyop weapon? Or just a malfunction? We were told to never fire it, so we have not. I will eventually get ...

It appears to be 18...

Thank You!

My Great Uncle brought this back from WWII. It has not been fired since WWII.

Has anyone seen anything like this?
