B-grade parts are made to the same spec as A-grade. Sometimes milling reveals a knot or check that couldn't be seen in the blank, so we sell those pieces at a discount.

These are the same caliber of stocks as our "A" grade stocks but have a chip or a small void or knot, we supplied pictures of typical blemishes that happen and we grade them to "B" grades ,we cant sell them as our "A" grade, and we don't want to see the beautiful walnut go to waste.

Era / Historical Context

This handcrafted walnut forend reflects the precision and durability of mid-20th-century German armory work, making it an essential addition for collectors, restorers, and historians preserving the legacy of the Mauser line.
