When I bought the Swedish Mauser, the description on the store tag said that the wood and the barrel ring were not matching (the handguard looks to be a replacement). At the range the other day, a shooter who owns 20 or so Mausers said the only way to know is to take the rifle apart. I took it apart and the handguard has the same serial number as the rest of the gun.
Just curious - would they (whoever "they" are) have stamped a serial number in a replacement handguard?
