Revision as of 00:46, 27 August 2023 by PyramidHead (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 1605764 by Andrewdraws55 (talk) The rifle is not specifically a Oberndorf Mauser Sporter. It is a completely unknown weapon and may not be anything specific, just some custom-built hunting rifle. The image was supplied as a reference. It it best to leave it as simply "unknown" for now.)
