This is my mauser project. I started off with a basic Turkish M38 Mauser made in 1939. Stock was rough but the gun was decent for $80. I bought an ATI mauser scope mount for it. It says no gunsmithing required but i call BS on that. I had to modify the stock for the mount to fit, but oh well it was fun. I also had to cut a notch on the stock to except a bent bolt. I sanded the stock down and stained it with special walnut. I mounted a Tasco 6x24 x 42 scope with med hieght rings. Im still trying to get it sighted in but I dont have the time to get out and shoot it right now. Let me know what ya'll think.

I did it this way so I did not have to drill and tap the reciever. So if I changed my mind on having a scope I could take off the mount and still have the original rifle with no holes in it. But im glad u dislike it.
I think you need to stop posting pictures from your cell phone and get a real camera! [;)]
On the gun itself, obviously its not going to win any beauty contests, but so long as you enjoy shooting it, that's all that matters.
I think the gun is fine.
Yeah, sure, you could always upgrade to nicer glass or maybe a more sophisticated mount, but I think there is something to be said about a reliable and not terribly expensive "beater" that you can use/abuse as necessary and not worry about destroying its value.
