G.41(M) stripped receiver.  The G.41(M) was Mauser's field trials semi automatic

rifle that was competing with Walther for the military contract.  Walther's design was

far superior so before Walther even completed their contract for their G.41(W), they

received the military contract for the semi auto.  When Walther started making the G.41

under the contract, they dropped the (W) from the receiver.  Mauser completed their

contract for the G.41(M) and that was the end of it.  They made close to 13,000 G.41(M)s

but many were scrapped due to beakage of parts and lack of spares.  It's a pretty rare rifle.

Mauser started their production for the G.41(M) in late 1941 and completed it in 1942.  This

receiver is an early one with the "41" date and has one waffenamt stamp that is E/655 while

the rest are E/135.  Mauser transitioned from 655 to 135 in very late 1941.  It also has 2 WR

stamps.  It is thought they stand for Werks Revision and they were stamped by the quality control

inspectors.  The WR stamps was used by Mauser on various guns that they manufacturered.
