Thanks for the replies! There's no telling what this rifle has seen.

Welcome/Introduction Board / Question about RC Mauser stocks

« on: May 05, 2014, 09:31:02 pm »

My DOU45 and my BYF43 Mausers (RC) both have what I guess are late war stocks. They do not have the takedown discs or a place for them. I can see the DOU45 having this as it is a late war rifle. I guess they were in a wild hurry to get as many rifles as possible out to the front. What I am not sure about is why the BYF43 would have a late war stock? Maybe the original was busted up and had to be replaced? Anybody have any ideas? The BYF43 has shellac slathered all over the stock. It is almost black. Sometimes I think about getting anoother stock with takedown disc, but I think that would take away from the history of this rifle.

Hello, I am new to the forum. I love buying and shooting milsurp rifles, but my wife doesn't share that sentiment...

A listing of my modest collection:

German Mauser BYF43 RC
German Mauser Banner rifle (not sure of year)
German Mauser rifle "Nitro" (converted to shotgun after WWI)
German Mauser DOU45
Czech Mauser VZ24
Yugo Mauser 24/47
Spanish Mauser FR-8 rifle
British Enfield MK1 No3 (sporterized)
British Enfield MK4 No2 (sporterized) Hoping to get original stock someday
British Enfield No5 Jungle Carbine
Japanese Type 99 rifle The stock looks like it has been through the mill, but has a shiny bore.
Mosin sniper PU
Mosin 1934 91/30 Hex Receiver
Mosin 1942 91/30
Mosin 1946 M44

These are my bolt action rifles. If my wife were to see this listing, she would probably beat me up side the head with them.

I have a lot to learn though. I hope I can learn a lot more about milsurp rifles from the members on this forum. I started out with a couple of rifles and then they somehow multiplied!

Do they call it milsurpitis?
