    yep, so its not a mauser then. it has a replacement stock looks like a home made job on it nothing like pictured but other wise yes front sight and from what I can see of the bolt looks correct. it was nailed to a wall somewhere as a wall hanger guys asking 50. bucks for it thought id take on a project

    Can't go wrong for 50 bucks. I'm sure someone who knows more about them than me will be able to point you in the right direction.

    Good luck with it.
