Brownells sold these Interarms Mauser actions in a number of different lengths. The last being the mini-Mauser. DoubleD
Hello DoubleD,
Its not an Interarms action, its a BREVEX action made in Suresnes, France from 1955-1965 by M. Polonsky (an engineer from the Radom plant in Poland) using captured German machinery taken from Oberndorf by the French Troops (Gal. Leclerc 2nd DB) and delivered by the M.A.S. (Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Etienne) before being sold to Polonsky circa 1951. This was the only true Magnum Mauser length action available to the trade in the years folowing WWII. They were imported and sold exclusively by Tradewinds. Here is a 1955 GUNS Magazine ad from Tradewinds.
Here's my rifle with the compact 2x-7x Burris Scope.
