Unh Uhh! The tax man cometh, and boy is he mad this year!

That 4 months off and surgery wiped out my savings. So I gotta do some hard core catching up for April 15th.

Yeah, all the markings are in great shape. It needs to be re-blued and have the stock refinished due to the very poor care it had the last 13 yrs. The trigger and bolt are in great shape, everything moves freely. I'd like to find someone that know alot about Mausers especially ones manufactured during WW2.

Wrecked a torch tip using it for a hammer. Wrecked a hammer using it for a prybar. Ran over my striker. Dropped slag onto my torch hoses and put a hole in the acetylene line. (Luckily, got to the tank valve before the fire did) Broke the arbor for the hole saws and burned out 2 saws. NOT A GOOD DAY.
That sounds like the start of a bad day.
