Mauser Model 3000 by Heym
      #289215 - 19/10/16 08:11 AM

Searching online gave me the basic history of the rifle.
I found the information below on a forum I am not a member, so could not reach out to the person who posted it.

Quote:

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.


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.

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

IIRC, These rifles were distributed in the US by Bauer-Mauser in Michigan.





This action does not have the Mauser logo on the bolt shroud as others on the internet show, and more interesting (to me)_ the s/n is 66000, well below the numbers from this post.

Thank you!

Came with a semi-inlet so finishing it will not be that difficult.
Still deciding whether to finish it myself or sell it as is.

I have had a very nice left handed SR20 from the mid 1990's. A very nicely made rifle, accurate and a joy to use. They are a level above the Sakos of similar period - a friend has both a sako to bear and an SR20, both in 270. The SR20 is just more solid. The Mauser is very similar - main difference is the safety on the bolt shroud as opposed to the trigger safety on the SR20. I think I prefer bolt shroud safeties, that block the firing pin.

I would finish that rifle and then enjoy it.
