Regarding the first posting of the model b in 9.3X62 with full octagon barrel-notice that there is not a serial number on the barrel-I have one similar in 9X57 with no serial number on the barrel but is inscribed with the customary "Waffenfabrik Mauser" on the barrel rib. Caliber stamping on top of the barrel in front of the ring. Anyone else have one similar without the serial number on the barrel? Speed's book has it seems only a few pictures of full octagon barrels and they do seem to have the serial number on the barrel. |

A friend of mine has an Oberndorf square bridge sporter on Gunbroker as auction #329590778. Sorry, I didn't have any luck posting the link for it. -------------- GeezerD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: This is double interesting since it appears to have all the features of a BRNO 21F carbine, except that the barrel is 60 cm (24") long, which I would think would be the minimum for an ear drum burster like the 7X64. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=329590778 I think your friend's starting price is a little optimistic, considered that the rifle has been rebarrelled to a screamingly non-German caliber. Also, referring to the rifle as otherwise original is a little much, considering the dovetail cut in the receiver ring to accomodate the claw mount base. The claw mount itself is interesting, but I think that finding rings to match the bases would be quite difficult, aside from the misssing lever on the rear (square bridge) base. That said, it would certainly be an interesting rifle to play with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: I have cast longing eyes at this rifle, too. Except for the odd treatment of the stock on the left side, just above the trigger and below the tang, it has wonderful classic lines, and the FN action is handled with respect, with no Germanic modifications, other than a little engraving. |

||||||||
|

Quote: Don't forget the rather crudely altered bolt handle, which, unlike the scope bases and safety would be very difficult to restore to original condition. Also the non-original caliber stamping on the receiver ring would seem to indicate that the barrel is not original either. It sure is a pretty thing, however. |

I like that one and with a Schmidt & Bender on it with eaw mounts on what looks like an original model b otherwise. Is the bolt handle look modified or is it an illusion?

Since the ocular housing of the Oigee scope appears to be integral with the scope tube, it is a mystery to me how the scope rings were installed on the tube, unless, of course, the scope was disassembled and the elevation adjustment drum removed to allow the rear ring to be installed. |
||||||||
|
|

http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=4273168 This one stayed tantalizingly low, around 700,00 Euros, right up to the last minute, then suddenly shot up to over twice the price. Still a good buy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Concerning pre WWII scopes the following link may be helpful. http://www.jagdwaffensammler.de/zielfernrohre.html Disassembling the scope was common in those days , because the steel tube scopes were soldered to the rings. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Can any one enlighten me as to the nature of the scope mount used on the Rigby .275? The rear base appears to be attached to the receiver bridge by some kind of dovetail arrangement, while the front base appears to be mounted on the left side of the receiver. I have a 1903 M/S carbine with plugged holes drilled approximately where this front base would be, and I have never been able to visualize what sort of scope mount would require such holes. (The photograph at the auction site allows significant magnification with no deterioration in quality, so the details of the mount are quite evident.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: I tend to agree, a 88 just seems proper in a 9mm Quote: I would agree again. While a 275 surely can benefit from a optically aiming device, this rather ponderous one is not it. A very simple remediation can be done thou. There price esimate is intriguing, but probably a bit "soft" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I have noticed that estimates on Oberndorf sporters at auction, at least here in the US, have been going up and up. I guess appreciation of the original Oberndorfs is finally catching up with their quality. Maybe the high prices on pre-64 Model 70's is pushing Mausers up too. An example: http://www.rockislandauction.com/viewitem/aid/58/lid/1548 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
"10mm" a 10.75 perhaps ??? With so many "FAKE" pre-64 model 70's anymore, I don't bother with them as to collector, cheap beaters for as is or custom, still possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: This type of mount is now usually called the "Holland & Holland mount". It is essentially a single-foot claw mount attached to the left side of the receiver. It works the other way around than the usual German claw mount: You first slide the rear foot into it's recess, where it hooks around a pin. then the front foot is swung down and secured by turning a small lever. The rod under the scope is there to keep the rings at the correct distance, even if the scope slips in the rings. H&H introduced this type of mount in the 1920s afaik. Virtually the same type of scope mount was used several years earlier by by the Austrians on some of their WW1 Mannlicher M95 sniper rifles. The only obvious difference: the Austrians did not use such a "distance rod". As their rings were soldered to the scope tubes, they could not slip and such a rod was unnecessary. Same question as with the Greifelt and Griffin & Howe single-lever sidemounts: who invented what and who copied a proven design? |

I can't think that it could be anything but a 10.75X68. Very nice rifle but not going to get into that estimate range I bet.

I think John was right...this is a sick thread :P I've only looked at it about a hundred times! |

Quote: Since the 8X60 cartridge was developed after World War I as a result of the banning of the 8X57 cartridge for civilian use by the Treaty of Versailles, it is most unlikely that this is a pre- World War I rifle. In fact, if I am not mistaken, the use of the term "NORMAL" did not begin until the 1930's. |

Quote: I'm a little curious about the barrel/forearm band, it looks very appealingly solid for a working rifle but in these free-floating days, I'm curious how accuracy may be affected? Seeing the caliber being 7x33 sako I guess many use/used them for capercaillie and other birds, small targets on some distance. Anyway, lovely rifle! |

Igorrock, I'm now the happy owner of that African 8x60 Mauser with 28" octagonal barrel sold yesterday in Sweden at Walter Borg auction.

because the 9,3x64 brennecke was sold by a gunmaker in Stettin wich was than a very important german harbour I believe we can assume it was bought for making a tour into a dangerous game country. ![]() if you compare it with a 333 jeffery this is a very common rifle and it would be hard to find another pre war 9,3x64 again. do you think the jeffery have the original stock? look here ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nitro, I was able to get in. You have to fill a small registration form which is not very user friendly. There is no estimate for the .333 Jeffery but the starting bid is 240 EUR. The auction hasn't yet started according to the website. I'm trying to understand the origin of the rifle. It appears to me to be an Oberndorf pre-WW1 Mauser Type B which was chambered to .333 Jeffery by the English trade, but I thought Rigby had sole rights in Britain to the Mauser action prior to 1912. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
mckinney What about chambered for 333 Jeffrey in Germany and then shipped somewhere after the war ? Or shipped to someone in the UK between 1912 and 1914 when the war started. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Lancaster I think you'd have to take the gun / stock apart to really know. I can't remember seeing anything like that before but as you know with the gun trade, anything goes if the customer needs it in a hurry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Sounds plausible. If we could see all the marks on the gun, we'd know more. The auction entry states that the rifle was built in 1911 and proofed in Britain in 1945, which suggests that it lived elsewhere before then. Interesting looking rifle with a lot of character. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I don't believe the .333 to be original as it is now. The action is a standard length Mauser action, but the stock is a pre-1912 commercial Mauser one inletted for an intermediate action like the ones used for the 7x57 = .275 Rigby. The front, rear sight and sling swivel bases are unlike any ever made by Mauser before WW2. The action seems to be of military production too, as it lacks the long striker nut then used on commercial Mausers. The magazine floorplate is not of straddle-type like those used by Mauser on .318 and other rifles.If action and stock were made by Mauser together the Mauser commercial serial number and proofmarks should be visible on the receiver ring, directly above the woodline. IMHO a concoction of a barreled action by some British maker assembled into a Mauser commercial stock to make a complete rifle. Fell into a similar trap once at a Holt's auction: Got an original, pre-1912 commercial Mauser stock like the one shown here, serial number 36750, wth the barreled WW1 small ring Kar98AZ 8x57IS action and British express sights. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
kudae Thanks for that insight. Lots of "bitser" guns as I call them are around, especially around the wars. I'll have to have a look at a photo of my 333 and compare. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Well, I've made a modest bid for it and will see how it goes. I don't believe it will sell for more than 700-800 Eur. Incidentally, the other Type B from the same sale (pictured in Igorrock's post above) is in caliber 8x60S according to the auction listing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The barrel contour doesn't seem to be a genuine "Jeffery". As stated also, the stock doesn't belong either to the "Jeffery" concept. I can only recommed the .333Jeffery. Good caliber that still surprise. I will bring mine on my third safari in August. ..go get one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote:In Jon Speed book you could see pre-ww1 W.J. Jeffery .333 Mauser with all those details. But as said, the stock seems to made for intermediate m98 action which has longer front ring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Igorrock, sure I know Jon's books, my name is on page xi (first book), vi (smalbores). Look closer, "similar" is not "the same". And, Jeffery rifles were not put together by Mauser like Rigby's were, but by unknown British or even Belgian craftsmen. Further, I miss the Jeffery adress on this rifle. It merely sais it is chambered for Jeffery's cartridge. Not all rifles inscribed "5.6x61 Super Express vom Hofe" or "9.3x64 Brenneke" were made by or for vom Hofe or Brenneke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The stock is definitely pre-WW1 commercial Mauser, with the swell on the sides, the rounded pistol grip and the slender tapered forend. I have two Type B's which have exactly the same stock, one in 7x57 and the other 8x57. The 7x57 has the same style floorplate as the .333, but without a release in the trigger guard. The 8x57 has set triggers and a floorplate with lever release. (Both are pictured somewhere on the forum in a long ago post). I really like the feel of the early stocks, especially the slim forend. The bolt knob on the .333 appears to me to be 'pear shaped' commercial and not the more rounded military style. I think this rifle may just be an early Type B that was later chambered to .333 with some changes to the sights. However, if memory serves the .333 was introduced around 1905 so it would have been contemporaneous with the '98 action and the early Type B rifles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote:Of course, in my 9,3x64 Mauser barrel we could read Husqvarna... ![]() We all know this .333 isn´t any collector item but if the next owner will change a new stock with correct outfit, IMO he (or she) would have quite a nice hunting rifle in good caliber anyway. |

Quote: Not so unusual at all! The short, telescoping action of the Mauser 66 was invented in 1963 by Walter Gehmann, Karlsruhe, and patented DBPatent # 1205423. At the same time Walter Gehmann held the rights to the vom Hofe trademark and the vom Hofe proprietary cartridges. In fact, the 7x66 vom Hofe Super Express was designed by Gehmann in 1956, based on older prototypes by Wilhem Brenneke. The 7x66 SE v.Hofe was meant as a replacement of the 1931 7x73 vom Hofe SE. The belted case 7x73 needed a long Mauser Magnum action, unavailable in the 1950s. So Gehmann packed the ballistics in a shorter case that would work through a standard length M98 action without opening up. Of course, Gehmann had the rifles for his proprietary cartridges made by Mauser on his own action. BTW, this rifle was proofed HK = 1979. |

Here's an enigma: an Oberndorf Mauser which, judging from the numberous visible pits, looks as though it was buried at some point and dug up, with a non-factory barrel in 8X64, and a laminated stock, which the proud seller describes as being made from "nobly figured light colored stock wood", and a one piece banded front claw mount base the like of which I have never seen before. This rifle is being bid up far above its apparent value, for some reason I can't fathom: http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=4517157 The seller has evidently had some problems with truthfulness in the past, judging from his feedback. His user name is not particularly trust inspiring: bettphannenchef (bed pan manager). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Xausa, this is a prewar commercial Mauser action, rebarreled to 9.3x64 Brenneke, not 8x64. The rust pitting is a quite common sight on German guns that escaped liberation in 1945 and were hidden for several years in the most unlikely places. These rear scope mount bases are usually found on 1960s Mannlicher-Schoenauer GK rifles here in Germany, a typical German aftermarket claw mount system like the one on my 6.5x68 M-Sch: ![]() BTW. the sellers name is "Bettpannenchef". I would rather translate this as "boss of bed breakdown". "Bed pan manager" would be "Bettpfannenchef". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
question is what is was before 9,3x64 dont fit in the magazin when it was in the 8x57 class before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Kuduae, This is what comes of old age and failure to check sources. My humble apologies for the mistakes you pointed out. Maybe nearing the 3/4 century mark is some excuse. Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed your contributions to Der Waffenschmidt! I'm a little curious about the subject raised by Lancaster. I believe 9.3X64 required a 92mm magazine box, so some modification was likely necessary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
iirc, 92 mm is the length you need for the 375 H&H I think you need 86-87mm for the 9,3x64 and its possible to file a standard magazin box to this length. dont know if the Mauser works ever made an original sporter in 9,3x64 because it was a Brennecke proprietary cartridge before WW 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: CIP max cartridge oal is 85.6 mm for the 9.3x64. Jon Speed, Mauser OOSR, gives the factory magazine dimensions of commercial Oberndorf sporting rifles. 8x60, 9x57, 10.75x68 = 84mm oal. 9.3x62 = 85mm. .30-06, 7x64, 8x64 = 88mm (opened up to the front), .318, .333J, 9.3x64 = 92mm (opened up front and rear). IMHO a 9.3x64 with the bullet seated to 85.6mm CIP oal will quite well through an 88mm magazine. Even an 84mm box can be filed ot front and rear to take the 9.3x64. Of course, such a magzine will take only three of the fatter cartridges. Post WW2 many standard length ex-military 98 actions and magazines were opened up to take even the .375 H&H. Even the FN/Browning so-called "Magnum" action is merely an opened up standard length one. Mauser themselves used Magnum length actions with a 95mm mag for such numbers. BTW that 9.4x64 rifle sold for EURO 514.99, about $ 670.-. Here are some auction photos: ![]() ![]() ![]() IMHO the design is influenced by Art Alphin's A-Square "Hannibal" rifles of years gone by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Apparently they did, as they listed this cartridge in their magazine dimension table. BTW, all "Original Wilhelm Brenneke, Leipzig" pre-war bolt action rifles I know about were actually made for Brenneke by Schmidt & Habermann, Suhl, eveidenced by a hidden "ESHA" stamp you find on all these famous rifles. Early postwar "Original Wilhelm Brenneke, Berlin" were bought in from Walter Röll, who continued the Mauser commercial production into the 1960s. Later ones were put together by others on FN actions. |

Lancaster Re ""Collection of British bolt action / takedown rifles - to be sold as a complete collection" What I would like to know is how many are take downs and what type of Take down mechanisms are used. Obviously the WR is shown, I wonder of the Holland style of stock and action coming apart is represented ? And I can't think of the third method. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
[quote BTW that 9.4x64 rifle sold for EURO 514.99, about $ 670.-. The way the ultimate price was arrived at struck me as rather peculiar. A bidder with no successful bids to his credit kept pushing the price up, until only one other bidder was active, and then, intentionally or not, successfully outbid the remaining bidder by 5.00 Euros. It makes me wonder if the seller was not employing a shill, who bid one time too often and was left holding the bag. Obviously from the number of exclamation points used in the description, the seller thought very highly of his offering.

Quote: For some reason the 7mm vom Hofe Super Express has always interested me. I think it was after reading, I think it was a Harald Wolf article, on a German hunter who used a 7mm SEVH and a .404 for hunts across the world. (Corrected - it may not have been a .404 but a .500 NE double rifle.) I looked up the ballistics at the time, and from memory they were something like a 7mm Rem Mag? What was the case based on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Did a search on NE and found this thread, which appears to be a 7x66 SEVH - http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=73139&an=&page=0&vc=1 I see the 7x66 ballistics are about 3000 fps for a 170 gr projectile. The 7x73 (belted) cartridge generated a "reported" 3300 fps for a 170 gr projectile - per factory Gehrmann loads, which COTW reports as "optimistic". |

The parent case of 7x73 SEvH was .300 H&H. But it´s interesting to notice that vom Hofes case head is a tad bigger than .300`s. 7x73 ![]() .300 H&H ![]() |
||||||||

|||||||
Solid left wall, magnum length round-top action. Pre-war? Not sure I have ever seen this configuration. Reminds me of the Halger I had... Similar case to the .280 Dubiel too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
yes looks like pre war to me! I think Funk in Suhl was making the rifles for vom Hofe maybe kuduae see this. dont say the rifle is perfect but it would be a simple job just changing the old firewood against a mcmillan tactical stock. new stainless barrel in 460 weatherby and a weaver rail and you are ready ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
All the 7x73 SEvH are pre-war and were built on Mauser commercial Magnum length actions. Note the position of the recoil crossbolt at the rear of the receiver ring, a dead giveaway for a Mauser Magnum action. As true Magnum length actions were available no more after WW2, cartridge production was not resumed. Gehmann, who owned the "Vom Hofe" trademark, designed the rimless 7x66 SEvH instead as a replacement, as this shorter cartridge could be used in an opened up standard length action. BTW, in designing the 7x66, Gehmann copied a pre-war experimental cartridge by Wilhelm Brenneke. I even know a pre-war vom Hofe rifle, originally in 7x73. Post-war Gehmann rebarreled this rifle to 7x66 and inserted a wood filler block to shorten the now unnecessarily long magazine! the most silly conversion I have ever seen! I don't know who made these rifles for vom Hofe. May have been Chr.Funk or Schmidt & Habermann, who made all the "Original Wilhelm Brenneke, Leipzig" rifles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Looking at the details of the metal and wood, it appears to be the work of Friedrich Triebel. |

Were magnum actions with rounded rear bridges more or less common than a square rear bridge or did they have the rear square bridge taken off? My Halger had a rear square bridge and I think others I have seen did too. |

"Note the position of the recoil crossbolt at the rear of the receiver ring, a dead giveaway for a Mauser Magnum action." Why is this the case and not like a standard Mauser? Dpn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Most dimensions are shared by the standard and magnum length actions except, of course, length. Even the distance between the screws coming up from the bottom metal is the same. The foreward lug (under the receiver ring) on a standard action is out near the forward end of the action so the crossbolt behind it ends up more or less directly below the center of the front ring. On a magnum action, the foreward lug is close to centered under the front ring so the crossbolt is farther rearward toward the back edge of the front ring. I have been meaning to photograph this. It is very obvious in a side by side photo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Here is a comment I just got from Jon Speed: " By the way I saw the small talk on Nitro site about the 7X73 von Hofe rifle and wanted to add that the action on this rifle had been a Single squre bridge soild left wall example but on many von Hofe rifles the rear bridge was milled down to set up suhler type scope bases.This was also the case on some Halger rifles as these groups did not consider the Mauser square bridge scope mounting strong enough for whatever reason." I disagree slightly with friend Jon on the last sentence only: Imho they did not want to buy Mauser's proprietary rear rings that only came in more or less standardised sizes and heights. So they removed the square bridge to be able to fit Suhl made, f.i. by A.W.Triebel, claw mount bases and rings. Noone of their then customers cared about "collector grade originality", they only wanted a reliable, strong, scoped rifle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks Kuduae, that clears it up for me as far as the lack of a rear square bridge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks Kuduae I guess the point is that in this case since the screws coming up from the bottom metal to the underside of the action and joining where the recoil lug is defines the position of the cross bolt. Since the screws coming up from the bottom metal on a magnum action is in the the same location as a standard action, because the magnum action is lengthen this has the effect of the recoil lug appearing move backward with the cross bolt at the rear of receiver ring. Make sense? Another question: I have heard that on occasion that gunsmiths would take two standard Mauser actions cut each one in two at a difference of 3/16" and re-weld them to create a "magnum" Mauser in light of what you said I don't see how this was possible. Have you heard anything on the surgical production of "magnum" Mauser? Don |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Here in Finland some gunsmiths have done such a job. It succeeds but needs much finishing works and special jig when welding those two halves together. And properly heat treating too. I have also seen pictures of m98 action shortened to m96 lenght. |

|||||||
this one was cut and weld for the the lenght of the 8x33 Kurz ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Such cutting and welding can and has been done, even to the end that two actions resulted, a long and a short one. But the elongated action will not be identical to a true Magnum action from the Mauser, Oberndorf factory. As you cannot move the recoil lug and the screw hole under the receiver ring rearwards, you will also have to fabricate longer bottom metal too to match the new, longer screw hole spacing. BTW the rare made in France Brevex Magnum "Mauser" actions of the post-WW2 years were of such a design, new made but with a longer screw spacing. As no pre-shaped stock will fit such an action with non-standard screw spacing, hand stocking is the only option. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Must be why the Brevex action is preferred for building 505 Gibbs rifles. From what I have heard, even the original magnum Mauser is a tight fit for a 505. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Here is a in the white .416 Rigby working rifle built on a BREVEX 400 Magnum action. These fine actions were made in Suresnes, France by Polonsky from mid fifties to mid sixties. They were offered in two versions, the 300 model for .375 H&H Magnum rimless type cartridges and the 400 for the .416 Rigby and .505 Gibbs rounds. They were the only true magnum Mauser type actions available to the trade in the years following WWII. They are extremely tough and reliable but need much work.

|||||||
Thanks for all the information. I am fascinated by Mausers and all their variations, one of the greatest designs in firearms. Final question, when they built Mauser magnums at the plant why did they in many cases have the thumb cut in the left receiver wall? I don't know that many heavy caliber rifles that load with a stripper clip. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Two reasons for the thumb cut: #1 Many user feel it is more comfortable to reload especially on a scoped rifle. #2 Controlling hot gases in case of a ruptured shell was Mauser´s intention. And last but not least a customer wants to have a cutout because most old british rifles had it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Excepting a few experimental K actions, all commercial Mauser actions, short, intermediate, standard or magnum length, round or square bridge, had thumb cuts and clip slots until the 1930s.As justcurious writes, the thumb cut was protected by Mauser as a means to gas escape in case of a blown primer or ruptured case. This was not so rare a occurence in the 1890. The Mauser action blows gas that has entered the bolt into the left side of the receiver, from where it it can escape through the generous opening of the "thumb cut" without doing harm. Gas that continues to the rear past the "thumb cut" is then taken care of by the gas flange on the bolt sleeve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Love Mausers, just the best action that has never been improved upon. And I don't care who says different! |

Quote: The dovetail cut in the receiver ring of this World War I military action appears much too deep for safety. My guess is that it extends all the way into the upper locking lug recess. I have heard that such an action would not be accepted for proof today. If I remember correctly, it was this kind of action which P.O. Ackley utterly destroyed in one of his action strength tests. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I was talking abou this with my old now retired gunmaker, old scholl master from suhl and very pernickety. he had a good opinion about this saying it was not seeing as a problem for decades. if there was not the problem today with some proof houses- not all- he would not boggle to do it. and it depends on the rifle or not? a stalking rifle making 20 shots a year with common loads will not explode so quickly |

Yes - Lancaster has been very very kind, as have many others on this and other forums, truly the internet has improved our ability to be good to each other. There is still "some water to pass under the bridge" before I get the bolt but that is all I need from the deal so maybe other people looking of Kurz parts may also benefit from it. Thanks Lancaster. Regards Foster Price. PS when I was a lad I was staying in the home of some folk I considered a little "rough". At one point the father of the house was having a quiet word with me as we watched the other young people present. He said to me " remember Foster that hospitality is never yours to keep, enjoy it now and later in life pass it on to others". Very wise words and a lesson I have tried to live up too over the ensuing 35 years. Now as my children go out into the world there in not one hitchhiker I regret giving a ride to, or one backpacker (of the many) who have shared our table because I know that my kids just might run into someone who will show them some kindness. |

This monstrosity looks to me as though it was simply heated red hot and hammered flat, with no effort made to create graceful lines. Then, in an attempt to hide the crime, a little metal checkering was added. I am equally at a loss as to why the gun buying public found this acceptable. |

[quote IMO that´s easy way to make lower bolt handle. And I have to say I like their outlook. The fast loading ability are not allways a issue, depending what kind of hunting you mostly do. This is definitely a quick and easy (and cheap) way of modifying a bolt. However, from the photos there is no indication that it made the handle any lower. The root of the bolt remains unaltered. The scope is certainly mounted just as high as it would have been for an unaltered bolt. Everything about this rifle says "class" from the stock wood, to the stock execution, to the engraving on the action and magazine cover, to the engraved name of the maker and the "Brenneke Hochleistungspatrone Kal. 7X64" marking on the barrel. Everything except the bolt handle, which really deserves the sobriquet "butter knife", since the flattened portion really is thin enough to cut with. Anyone who has used a Mannlicher Schoenauer, a Mauser Type M, or a BRNO 21/22 would immediately notice the difference. |

I always thought the spoon handle was for ease of cycling with bulky gloves on in cold weather hunting. Of course, the set trigger arrangement belies that theory don't it... |

BTW, all the prewar "Original Wilhelm Brenneke, Leipzig" bolt action rifles were in fact made for Brenneke by E.Schmidt & Habermann, Suhl. If you have a close look you will always find the small trademark Esha stamp on these "Brenneke" rifles. Most often it is under the barrel, sometimes even hidden below the magazine floorplate opening lever. The Brenneke rifles even retain the Schmidt & Habermann serial numbers, often found on the rear sight base. Here is again the rear sight and serial number of the full-stocked "Brenneke" rifle shown above: ![]() And here is the one on my Schmidt & Habermann M21 in 6.5x54 K Mauser: ![]() As Schmidt & Habermann numbered all their guns in one consecutive series, regardless of type and model, both rifles are datable to 1922-3. |

Quote: What xausa said (sort of...) Regarding the "butter-knife" bolt-handle, it is my belief that they are inappropriate when the bolt-handle is attached behind the rear bridge, as on the Mausers pictured. Having owned and hunted with MS rifles for several decades, frequently reloading at the shoulder in the thick of things, I have come to understand that the flat Mannlicher-style bolt-handle works by placing the thumb on the top of the "root" and lifting with the fingers. This is a piece of cake (and very fast!) if the handle is forward of a split-bridge, but not ergonomic at all if the rear mount-base, bolt-shroud flange, and cocking-piece safety are all conspiring to get in the way. And don't get me started on the swept-back butter-knife bolt-handle demanded by the American market in the 1950s: utterly defeats the purpose, and of course, ultimately caused the demise of this marvelous genre of classic hunting rifles. Just my humble opinion BTW, worth precisely what you paid for it. ![]() Happy to consider thoughts and experiences from Mauser Type M users...? As for the ugly(?) panel-beaten example discussed above, not my cup of tea at all I'm afraid. |

Rear mount on a Mannlicher, split-bridge Mauser or Commission rifle is usually a side-mount on left side. Doesn't get in the way on those I've fired belonging to friends, although my own examples are open-sighted. The thumb doesn't want to stay on the bolt-handle 'root' once the bolt is lifted BTW. |

the 1957 proofed 8x57 JS sporter has the double set trigger mechanism installed into a military 98k first version WW2 stamped triggger guard (2nd version had no locking screw slot), not the thing you would normally expect on any one-off made rifle ! and that part appears to be mismatched to the serial of the rifle ? |

A Rigby Mauser in .275 Rigby aka 7x57 rifle offered for sale on egun: http://www.egunner.de/market/item.php?id=4599625 According to the seller bought in the early 1990s from Rigby, then still London, Paul Roberts era. Receiver ring inscribed : Sighted for Rigby's spezial High Velocity 275 bore cartridge pointed bullet 140 gns . Mounted with a 1960s Hensold/Zeiss West 4x32 Diasta D scope on a German EAW side mount. Apparently heavily reworked, refinished and recheckered. The bolt handle at least is a replacement IMHO, as it has a round military knob, not the teardrop shape of the advertized "last before WW1" time. The cocking piece is also a replacement, as it is the short military type. asking price: Euro 4400.-, about $ 5940.- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I recently placed my guild Mauser up for auction on Gunbroker ------------ GeezerD http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=426341476 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I find this auction a little suspicious. The seller has a history of selling starter pistols and other similar merchandise all for under 50.00 Euros, then all of a sudden he has this rifle, and doesn't even know how to describe it. Now there are only two parties bidding, and one of them has a history of only a total of two purchases on eGun. It reminds me of the shenanigans which went on with my 9.3X64 before I finally struck a deal with the seller outside the auction. He had run the price up with a stooge three times before he finally agreed to sell at a reasonable price. Its certainly a beauty of a rifle, if it's for real. |

Three Model 1922 Newton Mauser rifles were auctioned off at the same auction today, the most expensive going for $1500, a steal in my opinion, considering that there were only 100 of them originally in existance. Here is the listing for the most expensive one. http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/newton-model-1922-mauser-bolt-action-rifle-639-c-f3a9d17662 |

Bill: Another interesting rifle in the Amoskeag auction was lot #220, a very early factory Kurz action 8x51 Mauser built in 1902. This is one of the earliest one's I've seen offered for sale. I stopped by to personally inspect lot #54, the Fred Adolph Kurz Mauser described as a 25 Adolph Express. Unfortunately, it was much modified by some Bubba and the value was destroyed. The present caliber is anyone's guess but it's certainly NOT a 25 Adolph Express. ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Don, Did you look at lot # 51, the custom kurz Mauser in .250 Sav., by any chance? How did it look? The description said it is a "fairly well-executed rifle", or something like that. Thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
redoak: Sorry, Item 51 was not on my check list of rifles to inspect. |

redoak,,,my friend malcolm macgregor built that rifle ..i hung with him at the auction yesterday hes from new hampshire and an appraiser for julias auctioneers he does pretty good work ,,hes also been dealing in mauser type rifles since before i met him over 30 years ago ,,he paid 7500$ for the 35 rem, squarebridge griffin that was there ,,the adolph kurz that don mentions sold for 3750$,,im pretty sure lot #220 sold for 6500$ ,,,,,,there are some real nice rifles coming up in the next amoskeag auction ,,a lot of mike petrovs stuff.....paul |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Interesting. I made an absentee bid of 7.5k for the Griffin .35 Rem 2 or 3 weeks ago. I followed the auction online and it showed a hammer price of 6.5k when the lot came up so was feeling pretty good. I later rechecked and it showed a hammer price of 7.5k. I guess I was caught by the 'tie goes to the floor' rule. I should have been more aggressive or bid by phone. Those rifles don't often come to market ... and .... I wanted one of Stretch Kennedy's guns. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
mckinney did u go there and handle the rifle at preview ?...paul |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Paul - no, I'm out of the country so was just going based on the photos and description. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
mckinney ,i think my friend would of went up to 9k on that griffin ,it was that nice ,,plus it was a single square bridge which i dont think was in the description ,,i handles it myself ,it was flawless and 100% original so much that the grain of the stock was slightly raised ,never any oil rubbed on it ,,,not to worry but the next auction coming up will have some nice guns in it ....paul |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I have a .35 Rem griffin on a kurz SSB that I picked up 10 years ago in the Emil McConnell sale. It has a mannlicher style stock, totally different look from the Kennedy rifle. Would have been nice to have the pair. (greed knows no bounds:)) Speaking of Michael Petrov, I wonder what will happen to his Griffin database? Hopefully it goes to Bob Beech at Griffin for safekeeping. Michael shared photos of some of his rifles with me over the years as he did with many people. The .400 Whelen griffin Springfield is sweet and he had a .22 Lovell that also looked good. I'll feel strange bidding on his rifles but I suppose he would have wanted us to have them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I once told Michael that I had no intention of leaving my guns to the NRA and he agreed, saying that the NRA did not even know what they had and would often turn to him for answers to questions about items in their possession. He said that he wanted his guns sold so that others could get as much enjoyment from them as he had. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Paul, Do you know what Malcolm's kurz .250 Sav. sold for (lot 51)? It sure looked nice in the photos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
redoak,,i think 3750 i can find out in the morning ,,btw the tauscher oberndorf was perfect and absolutley mint and sold for 2250 ,,i went to 1900 and passed on it only because im really not that hot for this anymore,,paul |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Invaluable.com shows lot 51 at $3250, but may not be correct. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks. Surprised it went that low... |
||||||||

im pretty sure that is correct ,at 15 1/4 inch pull the gun was not for everybody....paul |

Lancaster, thank you for posting the pics. of the Remo. I have a modest collection of Mauser shotguns that started many years ago when father bought me a Geha. I now have the original Geha and a Remo-Popular take down, an HH, a Remo, a DW?. Still looking for one in 20 gau.. Interesting firearm - every Mauser "nut" should have at least one. --- John |

Gentlemen - what would you make of this description of a rifle to be offered at auction here (in NZ), is it an 8x57 improperly described or does the 8.85 mean something else (like the land diameter for 9 mm for instance)?? "8.85H Calibre Mauser Bolt Action Sporting Rifle. 24 5/8" 4-stage round barrel. Ramped foresight. Open V rear sight with 2 flip up leafs. Marked "200" and "300". Bore good. German proofs. Receiver wall marked "Waffenfabrik Mauser- Oberndorf A/N". Metalwork with approximately 90% finish, thinning on magazine plate and trigger guard. Double triggers. Very good walnut stock with a lipped forend and a cheek piece. Chequered at arc pistol grip. Rubber butt pad. Sling swivels. 2 screws on back of receiver probably for a scope mount. Overall length 44½". S/N 76981." Sorry I can't do a picture . . . Regards Foster |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Are these actions built specifically for use as shotgun actions or is the left wall built up somehow for shotgun use? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Huvius; I am not absolutely certain but I don't think any actions were made specifically for shotgun usage, that "shield" is most likely "soldered" on. This was only done on the Remo all the others were screwed on with two screws. That thingy under the ejector is part of the shell retaining / release system again this method is only on the Remo. The "mushroom" on the front of the bolt is pinned vs held by the extractor on the others. The stock on the one in your pic. is not original but a modified military - well done though. The Remo had a nice rifle type stock side panels, cheek piece and all. All the rest had cut down military stocks no embellishments. A write-up on these is in "Bolt Action Rifles by F. de Haas" another on the Gunboards site. In Franks book he alludes to the fact the 98 Remos (not to be confused with the Remo-popular which is based on the Mauser 71) are rather scarce likely due to cost. The Remo all in all is more refined and complex when compared to say a Geha etc. I have pics. of mine and can Email to you / anyone willing to post. FWIW --- John |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The Eduard Kettner rifle is obviously built pre-WW1 on a Mauser, Oberndorf commercial action. The Mauser S Stutzen/carbine was completed by Walter Röll post-1945, as shown by the Serial number. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The S type has a military action bolt :-( I am so desperately looking for an S type and a kurz :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: So have many Mauser sporters from late WW2 production, see Jon Speed: Mauser - OOSR, page 293. But this rifle was built by the former Mauser master gunsmith Walter Roell post-WW2, evidenced by the Serial number and the lack of eagle/N + staghorn proofmarks on the Receiver ring. Roell was given the left-over Mauser commercial parts by the French to make "Mauser" sporters for allied officers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
@ kunduae I think you are not right. take a look at page 457 of the Jon Speed Mauser book. The S- Stutzen is made at the end at 1944 and is not an "occupation" Mauser by Walter Röll. Abel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Welcome aboard, But it is a safe bet , that The Type S is a Röll Mauser. As Kuduae stated above it lacks the staghorn proof mark on the receiver. The number -if you follow J.Speeds book - also will identify it as an "occupation" Mauser. An added sign ( at least to my personal experience) is the reddish extractor you will find on nearly all Röll Mauser´s. |

Wonderful rifle, but to me It doesn't look like that .318 Westley takedown is assembled correctly in the photos. The tang needs to go down farther, and be underneath the portion that is attached to the rear guard screw. That would put it down where it needs to be, and also lower the trigger down farther into the guard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You are correct. They did not hook the rear of the action under the keeper in the stock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I hate it when they sand the stock down soo much that they round the edges.... This one 's bolt stop sticks out by nearly 2 mm!and the srew nearly sticks out. |

Unique Christoph Funk/K. Eversull Over and Under Dual Caliber Bolt Action Mauser Sporting Rifle with Zeiss Scope ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() roduced at an unknown date, this rifle is effectively a pair of barreled receivers sharing space in a single stock, creating a unique double bolt action over and under weapon. The core of the rifle is a Mauser 98k-style receiver upgraded by the firm of Christoph Funk of Suhl, which has passed through proof houses in Germany and London, with a ramp blade front and dual-leaf rear sights on the Krupp steel barrel, a band of light engraving at the breech, a Zeiss scope installed on a double claw mount, elongated and turned bolt handle, conventional Mauser-style internal magazine and a single set trigger. Riding beneath the 7x57 barrel is a single shot 22 caliber rifle fed via a rotating and tilting breech assembly, German proofed, marked "K.EVERSULL" and set into the forearm with a single trigger installed behind the 7x57 trigger and a cocking mechanism on the top left of the wrist. The combination is at once mechanically novel while also featuring a barrel profile and functionality reminiscent of a traditional German multi-caliber hunting arm; such arms, such as the more famous drilling and vierling breechloaders, developed as a result of overlapping seasons of game. This combination would give the hunter enough firepower to deal with stag or boar while also having a way to dispose of smaller animals without the blast, recoil, or expense of using an overpowered round. Fitted with a fine checkered walnut stock with sling swivels, a horn grip cap, and a checkered horn buttplate extension. Included with the rifle is a partial replacement breech assembly, which also bears German proofs. http://www.rockislandauction.com/viewitem/aid/63/lid/1384 |

Here is a solid classic Jeffery Magnum Mauser with all the bore condition you could hope to find and it certainly had very good custodians for all these years. /////////////////////////////////// This is all Commercial Mauser with a Magnum action and then the British made a great open sighted game rifle to compliment this great piece of bolt rifle machinery. The Mauser Sporting Rifle and actions number about 127,000 and more than 82,000 were sold prior to WWI with a large percentage going to the British Gun Trade. /////////////////////////////////// Jeffery was already well known at the turn of the century but notice was certainly taken with their impressive line of Double Rifles. They had a large range of cartridges from .280, .333, and 404, 450 #2, 475 #2 and the famous 600 Nitro. Jeffery was at the 13 King Street address until 1914, they moved to 26 Bury Street and then to 9 Golden Square (The address of this piece) in 1921. When Rigby's exclusive contract with Mauser ended in 1912, Jeffery became active buyers of Magnum actions for their very popular 333 & 404 rifles. The Jeffery firm remained in business until 1955, in 1957 Westley Richards purchased the firm and then in 1959 it was merged with Holland & Holland.

The story goes; it arrived on these shores via a Missionary and he used it to control Tigers that were not welcome on his grounds.

Ben: Very good eye. The Karl Kormes is one of the better guild rifles I've seen. It is a DSB ,solid wall magnum length action. I suspect the caliber is 6.5x68s (an older German hunting round) which is a Schuler (Vom Hofe) caliber. I don't know of a 6x68s round. RIA has no clue when it comes to vintage Mauser stuff. A good buy for someone. The Type S in 7x57 is a very early rifle before Mauser called it a Type S. S/N 17692 puts it at 1906. The rifle above that one looks like a Type M in 8x57 built in 1923. All good buys. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Why 6,5x68 ? Text just says 8x68 which, as you should know, was and still is very common caliber in Germany, developed in the 1930s by August Schüler of the August Schüler Waffenfabrik, Suhl. |

Quote: Both the 8x68S and 6.5x68 were developed neither by vom Hofe nor by Schüler, but by RWS, the ammo company, 8x68S in 1939,6.5x68 in 1940. |

Thanks for correction, kuduae. |
||||||||
|
|

Igorrock: In the RIA item description of the Karl Kormes rifle, it says that the "caliber is partially mismarked, reads 6x68s". This is the reason I suspect it is a 6.5x68s. I hope this clears up my statement. ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: The "6" maybe an "8" stamp, applied at an oblique angle. |

Hello Dear , how are you . I would like the help of friends in the identification of this Mauser rifle that I have , because I have no knowledge of the model , year of manufacture, etc. I do not even know the real gauge of manufacturing . Could anyone help me ? Grateful. What confuses me more is the same numbering has two , one in action and another in the pipe. And the fact of the pipe have different external diameters , which could not find anywhere else in my research . Images in http://mauser98.blogspot.com.br/ |

Quote:According to Jon Speed's book exact year is 1913. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Geverson, your rifle is a Commercial Mauser, Oberndorf, sporting rifle type B. Accordingt the 77765 serial number it was made in 1913. Later, likely in Brazil, it was rebarreled with a Mauser Military rifle barrel, probably in 7x57, the former Brazilian military cartridge. Over the years Brazil bought many miltary Mauser rifle models in 7x57 to equip it's army and various police forces. The original Mauser stock, action and bottom metal were retained. The Mauser rear sight sleeve was attached to the "new" barrel. The front sight and it's base are not original, as is the crudely fitted rubber recoil pad. The front sling swivel is a replacement too, simply screwed into the foreend.The stepped barrel is typical for most military Mauser rifles, from 1898 on. The steps allowed the military barrels to expand lengthwise from heating up, without altering wood to metal pressure. |

in the next Hermann Historica auction http://www.hermann-historica.de/db2_de/onlinekatalogeneu.html Burgsmüller Stutzen 6,5x57 SN 648 made in Suhl with civil Mauser action ![]() the same but in 7x57 SN 102 ![]() 8x57,I believe 8x57I because "Mod.88.8" "Hillfritz, Berlin" ![]() notice the hooks on the stock original 7x57 SN 125754 ![]() original 9x57 SN 15134 ![]() Schultz&Larsen 6,5x57 SN 4314 ![]() |

Quote: This Stutzen appears to be a cross between a Typ S and a Typ M. It has the secondary "schnabel" of the Typ S on the fore end, but the flat bolt handle and metal fore end cap of the Typ M. Probably just an example of "The customer is always right." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
the barrel looks also shorter ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The for end cap appears to be horn rather than metal. Probably an option on a Type S as is the butter knife bolt handle. It also has Mauser factory scope mounts....Very nice |

Kurz Mauser Oberndorf prewar Holt´s reoffering unsold lots: http://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp...5&saletype= Now offered for 2.340 including fees and VAT. A real bargain. Wonder it was unsold. Have some more details , because I made that rifle build and sold it a few years ago. Genuine commercial Oberndorf Kurz Mauser with original furniture, Lothar Walther barrel copy in .243 Win. Stockwork by Gernoth Walther (Stockmaker for Hartmann and Weiss). And , No I have no personal interest in dealing with that rifle. Suppose the former owner died. |

"MAUSER A FINE CUSTOM .243 WIN. BOLT-MAGAZINE SPORTING RIFLE, serial no. 87579" I'll be damned if I can figure out the thinking behind that stock. It would be a perfect fit for prone shooting, but you could never shoot it prone with that scope mounted so far back. And the rear sight is a joke. You could never get your face low enough on that comb to use it. Maybe it works in a Hochsitz or Kanzel, but I can't see how you would use it on the ground. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'll be going after that fraser with great vigor! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: You should! There were quite a few American customs built on Kurz actions but for some reason not so many English or Scottish rifles. Then, being a 22HP which is really a very overlooked cartridge - mostly because of the odd .227-.228" bullet diameter - makes it even more appealing to me as I already have a double in that chambering. This one is near the top of the heap IMO. Just one damn nice rifle! |

a Mauser rifle probably unknown outside of germany, the "Zoll" or customs carbine was made in the early 1950s by Heym for the german customs as a more civil version of the 98k with new barrelled actions coming from FN in belgium. because of its indestructebelility and its is more like a hunting rifle this gun is loved by dog handler when searching for wounded game. excellent exemplar http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=5903361 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hey Squarebridge, You could buy the one at MW Reynolds and change your name to Double Squarebridge!! That particular rifle is mine and IMO priced right. If it doesn't sell soon though, I think I will just keep it. Maybe come up with a good way to make brass. I think it could be done with 458WM with some belt removal and some serious resizing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Huvius you're right - it is priced right. You couldn't buy the action for that. I never have a fat roll at the right time. When I'm poor it's raining rifles! Thanks for the tip on NECG - I never thought of that. |

is 9.5x57 the same as .375 Flanged nitro express? |

Quote: No, though they had similar ballistics. The .375 Flanged Nitro Express 2 1/2" was, as the name tells,a rimmed, tapered case, while the .375 Rimless Nitro Express aka 9.5x57 Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1910 has a rimless, bottlenecked case 2 1/4" long. |

It is interesting that the Grasset rifle is fitted with a Martini Cadet sight, which is normally marked to correspond with the .310 Cadet cartridge. I wonder if the range markings have been changed to correspond to the .257 Hyper Express cartridge? |

A somewhat earlier Sauer & Sohn, built on a transitional small ring action, Mauser serial number 2076, Sauer serial number 89640, making it one of the very earliest 98 sporting rifles, since the first 2000 transitional models were furnished to the German military prior to adoption. It is fitted with a half round, half octagon barrel with full length integral rib. The Redfield Jr. mount and the Lyman Alaskan scope were already fitted. The caliber is 8X57J. I won it at an auction last spring in which I was the only bidder on that particular rifle. The stock has been recently refinished by Lon Paul. I had it on the range yesterday in anticipation of the opening of deer season this coming Saturday. The last three shots I fired were in the 2" "10" ring of the 100 yard smallbore target. Two of the three were in the 1" "X" ring. The 2 1/2X scope with post and crosshair reticle does not lend itself well to precision aiming, but I find it unbeatable in the hunting field. ![]() ![]() |

Quote: That sure looks like a solid sided double square bridge to me. Full octagon barrel with integral rib. As the seller says, a nice candidate for a rebore/rechamber to 9.3X62. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It was a double square bridge, but rear bridge is removed and it looks to me like half octgonal to round barrel. Pity the scope mounts is gone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Ah, Gen Hicks, you caught me. The description says "Laufkontur von eckig auf rund." (Barrel contour changes from angular to round). However, in my mind a double square bridge remains one, no matter if the rear bridge is mutilated or ground off. Also, as far as I know, there are no solid left wall single square bridge actions. The reason I didn't notice the alteration to the rear bridge is that I have a double square bridge Oberndorf Mauser with a Suhler Einhakmontage and the rear foot is dovetailed into the square bridge without otherwise changing it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Pray share some photos? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Hello, I don't see the rear bridge was altered. It seems original to me. By the way, DORLEAC have showed recentley a .404 J made with an Original Sporting Mauser action like this 8x60 S: single FRONT square bridge! Mr. DORLEAC said it was very rare but entirely original. Best wishes and Happy Christmas!! PH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: I'm having trouble posting photos for some reason but I will attempt to describe the arrangement. The rear base of the mount has a male dovetail extending from front to rear, and the square bridge has a corresponding female dovetail cut in it to receive the male dovetail. This eliminates the need for any attaching screws and lowers the base as far as possible. ![]() |

thanks, what do you think about the 404, its belgian made isn't? the rifle don't looks so bad( I have no sense for engraved safe queens). would be just the rigth rifle to give Ziegenhahn in Suhl´for rechamber it to 404 Schueler Magnum. dont need it but would be cool to have it. |

Quote: What's the difference between the normal .404 Jeffery and the .404 Schueler Magnum? Thanks. |

|

the 404 Schueler Magnun was a maybe pre WW 1 improvement of the 404 by Schueler some years ago one case was found in the old proof house in zella mehlis behind an old board after being there for 80 -90 years iirc, by the old master Ziegenhahn. he had made a chamber reamer and at least one rifle, brass can be made from 460 weatherby cases. the cartridge is also in the 460 weatherby class and much to heavy but cool! ![]() http://www.municion.org/ the Zi-Di headstamp is an old Ziegenhahn trademark, its a reworked weatherby case any 404 rifle can be changed into the 404 Magnum |

common rifle in east africa was the Jägerbüchse Mauser M 71 in 11,15x60R. the Jägerbüchse was 10 cm shorter than the infanterie rifle M 71 and not only made for the hunter units but also for other technical troops. prior to the massive losses of the great war this old blackpowder single shots were seen as worthless old iron. ![]() ![]() this is the only pic I know were the askaris have the carbine 88, proably because its a machine gun troop so they use the same ammo like the machine gun ![]() this artillery men got the shorter carbine M 71 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks very much lancaster. And for all the interesting photos. I did guess you might already have posted something on it, but didn't look. I haven't seen any of these photos anyway though. As for that old cartridge being ineffective the Askaris were effective against the British East Africa forces armed with .303's though. At one time I hoped to find an example of each to hang on my wall. Now I would need my gun bunker/stong room to be built to be able to hang at least one of them on a wall. The old M71 might pass as an unfiring antique. |

Quote: This is an interesting photo, as it shows a "Leichte Feldkanone C/73", 8 cm caliber. According to v.Lettow – Vorbeck's books, the German Schutztruppe had two of these outdated guns in 1914. Since about 1900 the two guns had decorated the lawn in front of the government house in Daressalam. The empty shells were planted around the edge of that lawn, while the impact fuses were found in a dark warehouse corner. Lacking any artillery except some light mountain guns, the 2 old cannons were cleaned up and pressed into service. The shells were unearthed, wound with copper wire guide rings and refilled with blackpowder . Both guns were used effectively in November 1914 to repel an abortive landing of about 8000 British – Indian troops near Tanga. The outcome of this landing allowed the Schutztruppe to expand and resupply, as the British forces left behind enough modern Lee –Enfields to equip more than 3 companies, 16 machine guns, 600 000 cartridges and sundry other equipment. The Schutztruppe could field only about 1000 men against the numericallly superior empire forces, most of them freshly recruited Askaris. In 1914 the peacetime Schutztruppe had 14 companies, 216 Europeans and 2540 Askaris. Three companies were just rearmed with new M98a Mauser carbines, while the rest still had the old blackpowder, single shot M71. Four new companies, numbers 15 to 18, were formed just after war was declared August 1914. Many Germans then living in East Africa entered service again. So the maximum force during the war numbered about 3000 Europeans and 11 000 native Askaris. During the war two blockade runners, "Rubens" 1915 and "Marie" 1916, brought in supplies, among them 3500 8mm rifles and carbines, two 6cm Marine landing guns and a total of 8 more machine guns. This photo apparently shows one of those old 6cm landing guns and one of the Maxim MG 08 on naval landing carriage, together with M88 carbines, brought in by the "Rubens". Quote: |

I was bidding on that one too but the price got out of hand for me. There looks to be major rust pitting on the bolt shroud and even worse on the front sight and barrel. It is a very special rifle, but putting it right would have been a major project. Perhaps it went to the floor where somebody got a really good look at the bore and overall condition and felt it was worth the effort. There was another Oberndorf Mauser I liked in the auction. Lot #784. A late 8x57 TypeB, double square bridge, sold with another unusual Mauser with British proofs. |

I don't think the bottom metal on that H&H is original and it looks to have been broken through the wrist. I guess the ad sort of says that. |

yes, the magazine is aluminium and the little break on the pistol grip is described as being "repaired by an expert" |

In the 50's and 60's H&H made special mention of their use of aluminum for the bottom metal. It was considered pretty modern at the time. Matt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The 1950s – 60s were hard times for the British guntrade. I have seen several Holland & Holland bolt action rifles rifles from those times. They were made either on opened up ex-military German 98k or P13 Enfield actions. All had such light alloy undermetal and ventilated buttpads. Except the inscriptions and the iconic barrel shape, workmanship was so-so only at best. The checkerig was cut lopsided, and the oil finish was certainly not up to H&H prewar standards. |

Very nice classy looking rifle. Matt. |

This one doesn't look like any commercial sporter I have ever seen. First of all, it has a small ring action, which otherwise only Kurz commercial rifles had. Secondly, it has no "Mauser Werke AG" manufacturer's legend on the left side of the receiver. Thirdly, the bolt handle knob does not resemble the commercial pear shaped knob. Finally, there are no proof marks visible on the receiver. I suspect that someone mated an original Mauser take-off barrel with a military action and numbered the receiver to match the serial number on the barrel. |

IMO price is quite low. If I understand correct, 7 mm Express is same as .280 Remington ? |

believe its a 7x57 |

Could be but I just read from Speeds book that (at least) Jeffery made some rifles in caliber .280/333. Even this old and rare british caliber is one alternative: http://www.cartridgecollector.net/7mm-eley-experimental-7x63-mm |

Here's a nice old Fraser built Mousie takedown in .275 Rigby. Waidmannsheil asked me to post the photos for all: Mouse Description from auction listing: Fraser Mauser 98 in 275 Rigby Caliber. Absolutely Fantastic Example of Fraser's Unique Style. Rifle is in near new condition. At some point in its history the rifle was re-barreled by Boss when they were in their Albemarle St address. Matching numbered Fraser scope if fitted with the usual triple horizontal range finding reticle. Optics are still in very good usable condition. Scope fit is tight as new. Fraser Magazine rifles are super scarce, especially so on a 98 Mauser action and especially so in 275 Rigby. This rifle is simply a pleasure to behold, as it would also to use! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maker Fraser, Edinburgh Gauge/Caliber 275 Rigby HV.

That's a lovely looking vintage takedown rifle. Well worth it for the successful buyer. |

|
|||||||
Very nice rifle but IMO it´s safety doesn´t look like original one... ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: This appears to be a good example of what was being slapped together at the end of WW II: very late serial number with post 1932 proof marks, non matching military style bolt, pre WW I model set trigger. That said, something could definitely be done with it, provided the bore is useable. The asking price is ridiculous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
What is the deal with the striker extending past the cocking piece? I have never seen that before. Also, the safety looks like a Buehler safety. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: The longer firing pin is used with a longer cocking piece and usually paired with a cocking piece sight. My guess is both of those were removed when the Buehlar safety was added. |

I couldn't believe that an 80+ year old rifle could be in such good condition, so I consulted Jon Speed for his opinion. Much to my surprise, Jon said that upon seeing the rifle on GI, he immediately notified a collector friend, who immediately purchased it, settling the question once and for all at least in my mind. I actually had a phone call from Jon this morning which lasted quite some time and was very wide ranging in subject matter. I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did. |

Now here's one I've never seen before! TypeB with a long full length octagon barrel in 10.75X68. A bit odd but what a rifle! https://auktion.walterborg.se/sv/auktion/h19/kulgevar/5874_2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: I don't see an octagonal barrel, just a standard round one with some light reflections. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote:Look at photo #2: it clearly shows the transition from round to octagon.Quote: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The octagonal portion of the barrel doesn't begin until after the round portion which starts at the receiver ring and goes under the rear sight sleeve, so you might say that the barrel is round, octagonal and round again. The barrel itself looks exceptionally long to me. The description says 70 cm, which translates into 27.55", and octagonal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Looks to be round just out past the sight and then octagonal the rest of the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Can somebody who knows comment on the trigger. Is this a factory arrangement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It looks like a double set trigger with the rear trigger removed. I'm not sure what kind of a trigger pull that arrangement would produce, but I wouldn't want to use it. There would be no direct connection between trigger and sear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yes, it is a DST setup with the set trigger removed. ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The trigger pull of just the front trigger is usually hard with long travel before "breaking". It was on my 9.3x62. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: It's a first type Oberndorf German double set trigger that has lost its rear cocking trigger. The second type has a different front trigger shape. They are fully machined in the upper side of the trigger guard. This system was widely used on continental rifles. With the rear trigger you set the mechanism and pulling the front one fires the rifle. When set the pull is extremely light. A long and heavy pull on the front trigger can also fire the gun.

Worth a bit Eh ! I knew a guy with one of these, I think only use 340gr-350gr slug in Factory loads, be cool to reload with modern 400gr bullets ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Indeed! Not sure what twist FN gave their 10.75s but Mauser used the same for 10.75 and 404 Jeffery. I find it interesting, maybe human nature, that we so often take a medium bore and instantly discuss loading heavier bullets to bring it into the realm of DG use and conversely look to lighter, flatter shooting projectiles to use in the bigger calibers to make them more versatile. In this respect, the 10.75X68 with modern loading and either lighter or heavier bullets really could be a great all-round big game rifle! |

Love the pre WW1 7x57 model b (67841) with the very early Zeiss as well as the later 7x57 (124409). I also really like the 10.75 (78992) including the floorplate engraving and inlay, though I would have omitted the gold outline. These are just about the right kind of rifles to have in my opinion - not pristine, a little unusual but very characterful, handsome and I'm sure very sound. Could any of the floorplate work on the 10.75 be factory? |

Classy rig there Lancaster! Nice timber for the stock, a no-nonsense hunter that you wouldn't cry tears if you scratched a bit here & there! Very nice indeed & a good calibre to boot as well! |
||||||||

|
|||||||
That Mauser by Dirk Ruhland is superb. Too bad it cannot be imported to the U.S. Otherwise it might find a new home on this side of the pond. Curl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
why could it not be exported to the united staates? when I get guns from the staates you can get them too. https://krico.eu/export/?language=en |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks for posting Lancaster. Some very nice bog bores in the auction houses. I would assume Holts could facilitate export to the USA. I had two rifles in Germany exported through Holts to Australia, through the local Holts agent here. I assume as there are two Holts agents in Australia, that there would also be some in the USA. It isn't cheap though all up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Hi Lancaster I think it's because the rifle is built on a DWM action - military. Regular commercial Mauser actions are OK for import to the US, but not rifles built on a military action. That's my understanding at least. I've imported several commercial Mausers. |

I’m not sure of the legislative or administrative history but it probably has its roots in the 1968 Gun Control Act. I know that in importing original Mauser sporting rifles, the pear shaped bolt handle is your friend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The law was passed to protect the gun manufacturers, who were being threatened by a flood of military surplus weapons being sold at incredibly low prices. As is often the case, the flood had already taken place, so the consequences were borne by the custom gun makers who used military actions like this one. However, I doubt that whoever processes ATF import permit applications would identify a rifle in this price range with being military surplus or would identify the manuracturer DWM as being exclusively military. |

the FN mauser in 10,75x68 is very cheap and I would buy it if there was not a rifle for this caliber in the safe. don't know why but its a real bargain. would make a good rifle for northern territory to shoot water buffulo all day long. the Rival mauser having the same post war FN action without thumphole but this was a gentlemans rifle and the finish may be better than the more common FN mauser working gun have. |

its even longer if you know it is a 72 cm long barrel. when seeing the rifle in the morning I thought there must be a mistake because the rifle was offered for 500 euro = 791 australian $ but yesterday in the evening it was allready sold so it seems this incredible price was the right one. |

|
|||||||
That Francotte is great! Curious, though, when called an “FN magnum action”, what does that mean? That action looks to be a regular FN action to me, at least judging by the positioning of the crossbolt. Not as long as an original Oberndorf magnum length action. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I would say 100% that is a standard M98 action that has been opened up for the 416 Rigby cartridge. You can see the amount of opening up done on the feed ramp/lower locking lug recess area. I am not sure but I imagine the true Magnum Mauser action also had an extended length magazine follower not the standard version that leaves a gap in the front as the one in the photo does. My own Type A standard length Mauser has been opened up for the 404 Jeffery cartridge and the magazine and feed ramp look very similar to that in the photo. The feed ramp for the 416 is even more radically ground away to fit the longer again 416 Rigby cartridge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
FN never made a true Magnum length Mauser action. What they advertised as their “FN Magnum Action” were merely standard length actions, opened up to take .375 H&H and .404 length cartridges. |

Some lovely pieces Lancaster, the last one in 10.75 has some strange marks on the stock, like it was put in a box with something loose & bashed its way around Africa! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I really like the colour cased action, but the spoon-handled bolts kinda leave me a bit cold. Just a personal taste. Overall, beautiful rifles indeed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Of the auctionet items I like the 9.3x57 best. Looks like an honest gun and very early. I also like the 10.75x68. The 6.5 Swede would be very nice indeed if not altered with the scope mount. Same for the African if the bolt handle hadn’t been altered - also looks like a rebarrel due to the caliber marking, which I believe would be “7.6 US” if it were original. But I’m not one to talk as I have a few original Mauser sporters that have been altered. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
All much desirable rifles, thank you for posting Lancaster. I wonder what is the Thor Hammer marking on the knox form of the 30-06's barrel? Louis |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nice rifles. On the 10.75 the length of the barrel seems unusual. Does anyone know how long it is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
https://auctionet.com/de/2043893-kugelge...he-nr-se1046594 barrel length 70 cm, remember that SN 26889 is very low so less standardised than it was in later years |
||||||||

|
|||||||
Quote: yes, I am not sure if the 3006 barrel for the african mauser is original. polishing and the tone of the blueing seems a little bit different. |

Thanks lancaster I glazed over the 70 tube length in the description. I just felt it was longer at 70 (27.5"). |

Got these pics via email two weeks ago: Another such 10.75x68 rifle on a 03 Springfield action, recently auctioned in Sveden. Apparently built by the same Zella – Mehlis shop. Proofed September 1931 by the Z-M proofhouse. Maker’s serial number 24, while the one shown above is 25. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks Axel. This one seems to have the standard rear sight instead of a peep. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
2 very interesting 10.75x68's. I like how the darker heart wood on the Springfield actioned rifle's butt from comb to heel, almost match the angles of the darkened wrist checkering. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
wonder where they came from, old WW 1 booty? the rifle from sweden was for elk hunting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I guess the first rifle came from Sveden to the USA too, as that peep sight is a design often found on prewar Svedish rifles. Certainly both were intended for elk = moose hunting. During the interwar years, there were several German rifles built on unusual, former “WW1 enemy” bolt actions. F.i., I have seen 3 such rifles built on type 30 “hook safety” Jap. Arisaka actions. And there are many Austrian hunting rifles on Italian Mannlicher-Carcano and Rumanian Mannlicher actions, sometimes combined with Mauser type bottom metal. Such actions came from unusable military rifles, surrendered or battlefield pickups from WW1. Such actions were probably even cheaper than stripped ex-military Mauser actions. Here the actions come from an early American M 1903 Springfield, most likely battlefield pick-ups from early 1918. As the .30-06 cartridge was unknown and unavailable in Europe, only the action was salvaged and scrubbed off all original US markings. The actions were rebarreled with a round, ribbed barrel and restocked, most likely by a small Zella – Mehlis shop. It was proofed by the Zella – Mehlis proofhouse 9.31 = September 1931, gun number 254 proofed that month. 24 and 25 are most likely the serial numbers of the gunsmith. The rifle with a bore/land diameter of 10.1 mm and proofed for a service load with a steel jacketed 22.5 g = 347 gr bullet, it is certainly in 10.75x68, the only such cartridge widely availble in 1931. What’s unusual here: The CROWN + crown/N proofmarks show, it was proofed using the pre-WW1 “4000 atm proof powder”. The use of these proofs usually ended in he early 1920s. Maybe the Z-M proofhouse still had some leftover 10.75x68 proof cartridges in 1931? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: BTW, those Svedish peep sights are adjustable for windage and elevation. The bottom part slides sideways in it's dovetail while the aperture is screwed into the slide. So the peep is adjustable for elevation in half turn steps. Both parts are locked by tiny set screws. I have such a sight on a B-type Mauser in 9.3x62. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Could it be 10,75x57 ? They called it "potato thrower". I have seen quite many this caliber rifle only in Sweden. All of them were Mauser 98's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Quite unlikely. By 1931 the 10.75x57 was almost dead. It was essentially a pre-WW1 number. Rifle #24 was described as a x68, while #25 was shot with old RWS 10.75x68 loads. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
These rifles would sell for several times that here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote:Quote: Thanks for this information. So it's similar in operation to the NECG peep sight. I could see it was adjustable for windage but, couldn't see the elevation mechanism and assumed the front sight was for elevation. |

Any Aussies seen the 7x57 on used guns? As usual there’s the frustrating lack of photos and info, but to me it’s clearly been restocked? Quite a bit of money for a non-original rifle… ![]() https://usedguns.com.au/gun/419636/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Might get $1,000.00 for that rifle here at a gun show. but likely not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
yep, price is over the top I would not pass sentence about the stock because the pic is realy to small. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You’re both right about the price, but it’s Australia so you need to at least double your North American prices. However, $4k+ is too far. Yes the photo is crap, but the figure looks too fancy to me and the shape of the schnabel doesn’t look pronounced enough - or did stock design vary that much on Type Bs in the late ‘30s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I uploaded the picture to my desk-top, than enlarged it as big as I could, using the Ctrl and + keys. There is no schnabble that I can see. It has a rounded-up forend tip. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: I did the same. Sorry DarylS, but apparently you have not seen many original Mauser, Oberndorf type B rifles. They did not have a pronounced “Schnabel” foreend. There is just a very slight flare at the tip. The tips are cut off with a curved cut, straight in plan but curved up-down. Looking at the enlarged photo as you did, I see a typical post-1912 to 1945 Mauser B stock with the uncheckered foreend and the rounded, seen from the side, tip. Here are pics of four B Mausers, all with their original factory stocks. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
||||||||

Nice looking rifles. I particularly like the last two. The next to last looks like a 9.3 or 10.75? The B can be as attractive as the A, depending on the particular rifle. |

Did Oberndorf ever checker the fore end anywhere on a type b? |

Imho, that is a mite highly priced for the condition. |

|
|||||||
Quote: Standart model Bs had uncheckered foreends, like the first 3 rifles I posted above. But sometimes you may find checkered foreends, 4th rifle or the 10.75 above. I don’t know if these were special order factory options or added by a retailer aftermarket . The literature, catalogs or the books on Mausers, give no definite answer. |

Thanks guys |

The relatively subtle schnabel fore-end tip on the Type B is worthy of a discussion thread of its own. The rounded, slightly flared tip with barely perceptible keel on the underside fits the thumb and fore-finger of the left hand perfectly, and is clearly designed to be gripped accordingly to allow the rifle to be pulled into the shoulder. Hence there is no need for checkering as the grip is at the schnabel. I had a serious misunderstanding of schnabel fore-ends until I acquired a Type B and started shooting it seriously. Something of an epiphany to quickly discover the schnabel's true purpose! Now I laugh when I see the oversized donkey-dick schnabels on some rifles offered for sale these days! ![]() |

For any of our French speaking members. Is this available at a fixed 1500 Euro cost, or is that where the auction starts. This looks to be an S type sporter. Would this be importable to the US? Thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
1500 euros fixed cost, not auction. However, I must warn that NaturaBuy is not an option for foreigners to buy directly from them. You have to try to get in touch with the seller by asking a question in order to then possibly be able to discuss a purchase. Everything then depends on the will of the seller, and many are not very willing for an export. Even buying something from Germany is difficult, and we are still in the EU. Therefore I don't know how things are with an export to the USA, there is also the problem of the language with people who don't always speak English. I speak from personal experience as I tried to contact this seller to discuss the price of this rifle. The seller did not reply. https://www.naturabuy.fr/AUGUSTE-FRANCOT...em-8219710.html |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Ok. Thanks for the info. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
language problem become less than before. sometimes ago I had a question to someone in france and make the mail with translating from german (or any other european language) into french ( or any other european language) with https://www.deepl.com/translator. the other guy doesn't seems to notice this was made with a translator answer my question perfect. the translating programs become better every week and deepl is maybe the best now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
There is no real problem exporting to the USA or Australia, an operation that we do routinely. However, you must find a professional gunsmith who will take care of the acquisition of the rifle in France and who will manage all the documentation and costs linked to exportation. Finally, and this is not the least concern, you must be extremely careful with this kind of announcement that remains vague as to the condition of the weapon. The choice of relatively blurry photos and description should raise alarm. In this case, to be myself interested in this type of weapon, I would not even spend a thousand euros on this Mauser whose condition is not as good as described (!) DORLEAC www.dorleac-dorleac.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Holt's auction house in the UK may be able to arrange pick up from various European locations and freight of a firearm to Australia. They have one or two Australian agents who can then take import delivery. David Handyside in SA is one Holt's agent. I can pass on contact details if PMed. Obviously for a fee, export costs, import costs etc. Discuss the possibility with the agent. Firearms might be shipped with a regular auctioned lot. I have utilised David's services in the past. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The photos don’t appear to show the caliber marking and I wasn’t aware that Mauser made the Type S in any caliber larger than 9x57. Jon Speed apparently is not either. See pages 158-60 of his book. If this rifle is really caliber 10.75x68 it is either a rarity or a modified rifle. |

In the photos that .375 has the red/plumb colour of a rifle that was re-blued way back. It might just be the color balance of the photo. The markings look sharp. Is the forearm a normal fit or been free floated? |

Nice rifle, but the rear sight base is crooked and damn they’re ugly bases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Is that really an H&H stock? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
At least the front base is crooked too so there shouldn't be any strain on the scope. You wouldn't want to fit an early reticule moving scope either as god knows where the reticule would sit in the view once shot in. Real botched job if ever there was one ![]() |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Imagine doing shit like that to any rifle let alone a H&H, some people are unreal. A pair of aluminium Weaver bases worth $000 to that action. You cant get uglier. Still it could be salvaged and made into something very nice. Matt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nothing about this rifle looks right to me. Fortunately there are many members on this site with far more experience than me. To me the rifle looks like a bit of a Frankenstein rifle. The RHS of the action looks like a sporterised P14, The LHS of the action has a Mauser type thumb relief. The bolt looks like a P14 straightened and re-welded. The stock is not of the quality one would expect from H&H. The while spacer recoil pad doesn't appear correct for the era. Has someone simply thrown together a whole lot of bits? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
if I understand correctly they had some very bad years in the 1950s/60s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I agree with Hunter. The bolt release on that rifle looks like a P14/P1917 rather than Mauser. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yes, H&H made rifles on the P14 action. Those scope bases are hideous! |

The scope on the Mauser, has a telescoping rubber attachment on it's Ocular lens. The scope could only be moved forward by about 1/2" by the looks of the front dovetail. On a 10.75x68, I would not want to shoot that rifle. With the drop to the heel, appearing to be sighted for irons, with such a high mounted scope, the end of your chin would be the only cheek weld. There would be quite some head movement with recoil. No, I would not want to shoot that rifle equipped as it is. I do like the heads-up attitude this rifle requires when shooting with a scope, just that the scope is too far back as well as having that rubber eye-piece that would impact around the eye upon recoil. NOPE! WOULD NOT SHOOT IT AS IT IS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Really stupid attachment. A rubber eye piece. Right on the eye. Why? Any purpose? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Exactly - & on a gun that kicks some. I've seen them on the 3/8" eye relief Immersive scopes on non-recoiling air rifles to eliminate side light into the sight picture. There was one on the 1-40 Immersive scope I purchased for my Condor .25., however I dislike them and took it off. I prefer not to have the rubber eye-cup. The ocular lens cover has written on it "NON RECOILING RIFLES ONLY" |

the wedge was a relict from the old muzzle loader when this was the common method to fix the barrel in the stock. more or less common on new rifles up to the great war than disappear between the wars into nirvana. |

L, What's a 8x51, a .308 necked to 8mm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: The 8x51 K Mauser cartridge, old name M.88H, predates the .308 Winchester by about 50 years. It was a shortened version of the 8x57 I , M.88G, to fit into the Mauser K short action. The standard load used a 196 gr jacketed bullet at about 2100 fps. These light rifles were intended for shooting roe and fallow deer, being less destructive than the contemporary 8x57 I loads. At those pre-WW1 times a German hunter had little chance to ever see a red deer, let alone a wild boar or any other larger game. Here is a scan from the 1904 DWM catalog, showing the case besides the 8x57 I one. ![]() |

Quote: before this get lost: Serial No: 93242 maybe one of them coming from india with the double rifles back in those days? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Quote: Yes it is. Many years ago I developed a load and loaded up a couple of packets of 8x51 rounds for a guy who had a Mauser K and reloading dies for the cartridge. I just ran 308 Win cases into the FL die and loaded them up using Norma 196gr .318" bullets the owner supplied. Can't recall the powder I used, probably 4064, but used heavy bullet 308Win data to get started and worked up an accurate load. |

So many questions....on the Frankonia rifle / shotgun, I assume it works like a pump action but how does it lock the " action ", What is the piece behind the bolt and how do you fire the shotgun ??? Roger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
to be honest I remember them only from early 1990s catalogs, never had one in my hands. this looks like a grip, I would say turn the barrel, maybe 90°, then its unlocked and you pull the barrel forward. ![]() this part here in the red circle ![]() looks like it cock the firing pin of the shotgun action by hand when you turn it upright. maybe the 98 bolt action must be in the decocked postion so the common trigger operated the shotgun firing pin then. |
