No way of going back to the gunsmith and raising hell about the missing trigger gaurd?

Anyway Numrich (http://www.gunpartscorp.com/) shows sold out on trigger gaurds for a 3000.

You might want to give "Jack First" a call, they don't have a website like Numrich to order from. The girls who handle the calls are great. They may have one so give them a call. Link to Jack First: http://www.jackfirstgun.com/order.php

Good luck.

I did find out a little info about the Mauser 3000

The Mauser 2000 and 3000 were originally designed by Heym, and were originally released as the Heym SR10 and SR20 rifles. These were designed specifically to be inexpensive to manufacture, and for export to countries such as the U.S. Mauser-Werke leased the idea, with space to manufacture, from Heym - thus the Mauser Original roll mark.

The serial numbers started with 67110 in 1968 and ended with 95204 in 1974.

Both actions were made from round bar stock supplied by Krupp steel.
They are both push feed actions - not CRF.

The difference between the 2000 and the 3000 is that the 3000 came without iron sights and had a soft rubber recoil pad.

The recoil lugs of these rifles were welded onto the action, rather than being forged / machined in one-piece with the action - as the original Mausers were.



A trigger gaurd from a 2000 should fit a 3000, so that should give you another option on trying to find one.

Heym still makes high end rifles, not sure if they will have parts for an old one though but it may be worth sending them an e-mail. Link to HeymUSA: http://www.heymusa.com/

The only other thing I would recommend is to attend some of the larger gunshows. Many have "parts guys" with many bins and boxes of parts. They may be able to help out.

Good luck.
