There is some conflicting information regarding C. or K. Srba. Some say they were father/son gunmakers (Carl the Senior and Karl the junior). Another story holds that Carl started spelling his name with a K following WWI.

Regardless, C. Srba seems to have been more of a retailer than a gunsmith.The business of Carl Srba started in 1847 as Firma F.(riedrich) Bauernfeind. Srba was the successor. The address in 1905 was Theaterstraße 2, in 1900 it was 56 Plöck. Srba advertised as Büchsenmacherei und Waffenhandlung in 1905.

Srba offered rifle barrels with 2, 3, 4, 6, and express rifling, what does yours have?

Can you post pictures? Especially of all markings.

I am not an expert but I have never seen a Feuerstutzen that the stock was not finished darkly 

Love your rifle. I recently purchased a schuetzen with nicely figured wood and a very shiny coat of varnish. I have thought of using 0000 steel wool, then a coat of wax. Any thoughts on this idea?

I'd call this one just right - wouldn't want it lighter or darker. The butt stock on the second one is OK also but the forearm is a bit on the light side. The 3rd one is getting on the dark side.

Yes, it was. I believe my rifle was rebuilt for the old small bore matches in the 30's or 40's. They also had a 10 lb limit and no hooked plates. 

The barrel on it was made by George Titherington Of Stockton, CA and is 20" long. Many of his barrels went to the International small bore matches in the UK. There is a feature article on him in AR in Feb of '37. It's a extremely competitive bench rifle using just Wolf Match.

I replaced the butt plate back to original style and if you look closely, you can see where there could have been a cheek couture, similar to my CF Will, that was cut away.

I used both of those rifles for all my OH shooting in my last 6 years of matches.

I would call that dark, I like it

Skalkaho, I would call that a "Church Rifle", the color reminds me of a pew in a church. In Bad Toelz many of the hunters I knew would take their families to church Sunday morning and stand around outside chatting until the doors were closed. Since they could not enter it just made sense to go over to the little gasthaus for a "Halbe" while they waited.
