the gun looks in excelent condition. never heard of a bishop stock before. the blueing is great condition. the bolt is bent really good as well. who ever did it sporterized it knowing what he was doing. rifle is still a bit heavy but will do. depending on accuracy i might take it into the deer woods this year acouple times.the first thing i will do is put a timney trigger on it since it has some creep. i can pull the trigger to a point and it won' t go off. never had a trigger like that before.
also are all mauser rifle have a tappered barrel? it seems to go in teirs not like a hunting rifle where it is all one size.

also arn' t the surplus bandoliers corosive?
