From Gunboards.com Mauser K98 Forum (member name Pisgah): (in regards to. The old KCN ran a serial number study for 1945 Mauser Oberndorfs in 1997.

And everything I've read said serial numbers are generally meaningless in Mausers. Is this not the case with commercial sporters? August, A little more info on the proof marks, 1924 German commercial proof laws changed and in addition to Crown over B (rifle proofed in assembled form), Crown over U(final inspection proof), sporting arms were stamped with a Crown over G (indicating a weapon with a rifled bbl). The BUG proofs were applied from 1924-1934, a fourth mark, Crown over N was applied from 1933-34 to late 1939 (to signify the rifle was proofed with nitro-based powder, Crown N was also used on military contract guns for export.) The BGN marks on your rifle look washed out from being polished, with a distinct Crown over U. Maybe it was reblued at the Mauser factory?

Your barrel does not snap on/off its most likely the scope is removeable with quick detatchable mounts.

I sold a well used but all original model M 30-06 a few years ago for $1000. It was not in as good of condition as the one you have. I visited Fred Wells in Prescott ( his son Rube has one of the best Mauser sporter collections in the US) later that year and told him.

At that time he said I had sold if for less than half of it's worth! This past year I picked up another model B in 30-06 here in Alaska and I don't plan on letting it go. Rifle magazine will have a seperate magazine out this October specificly on Mauser sporters.

The script on the side of the action matches my commercial Mauser 98, and it is dated to mid 30s production. I was not aware of any post war production of Mausers in the 50s (German arms companies were disbanded, the machines and tooling sold or confiscated).
