This mauser was the cadet rifle so it was not shot much. The rifling is perfect all the way to the muzzle and you will see in pic. the bullet sets in muzzle not going to brass and stands strait. I have blued it and polished all parts. all have matching # even the barrel. It did not have a stock so I made my own with glass bed and free floating barrel. I drilled and tap for scope mounts and added a tasco scope 3-9x40 clear glass and works great. I put 50 rounds through it to make sure it worked well. It is a great shooter. Once I bore sighted it at 75 yards the first 3 shots were just to the right of center to set scope next 5 shots look like 3 in the center.
