9.3x62 B on Guns International today
#343173 - 09/07/20 11:12 AM

In the pre war mouser section, did anybody see what that 9.3x62 listed by Steve Barnett sold for. By the time I saw the post it just said sold. Must be one of the fastest sales in history because I had just looked at the site about an hour or so before.

Didn’t see that one. I do know where a superb TypeB 9.3x62 lives though.
Any interest in an 8mm TypeB deluxe?

Thanks, but no. Its just that by the time I saw it, it was already sold and I didn't see what the asking price was. Would like to know to have a baseline for what the market is.

Baseline?
You selling?
I’d say that the TypeB, long the lesser brethren of the TypeAs, is beginning to come into its own.
They are superb rifles and finally seeing the following they deserve.

No, neither buying or selling. It was just an unusual configuration and would like to know what someone actually paid.

I was probably in error using the word "Deluxe" as it isn't used by Mauser themselves.

What I mean is that there are features that could be had that are different than the standard TypeB.
Barrel styles, sights, checkering, etc. could all be specified when ordered.
There are 16 factory variations for the TypeB and occasionally you run across rifles which don't fit into any of those listed variations.

I have a TypeB in transit now that has some of these options - set trigger, checkered forend, horn forend tip and very nice wood. Not built to the specs of one of the "standard" variations though.
I haven't found in the Mauser references if special wood could be specified but I sure have seen some Mausers with exceptional wood and others of the same era with very plain wood.

Though not from 'Mauser themselves'; these images from the 1939 Stoeger, their sole authorized U.S. agent, certainly support your assertions:

This rifle is similar to Model 600, but in De Luxe finish, and with half round, half octagon barrel with raised matted solid rib. The forearm is fully checkered, and the tip is East Indian Buffalo Horn, although this detail is not illustrated. The swivels are of the original Mauser detachable type, far superior to anything offered here or abroad. The stock is selected veined Circassian walnut. Supplied regularly only in caliber .30-06 U. S. but can be had on special order in any Mauser caliber.

A few other options listed in the 1939 Stoeger:

Huvuis

The many potential combinations of features is what makes them interesting.
I have never seen a B Type with an A Type foreend tip. Does the chequering " wrap around" both grip and fore end?

Perhaps you can post a photo or two when the rifle is to hand?

The horn tip is still in the Schnabel style.
A friend of mine has a TypeB in 10.75x68 with a half octagon barrel and a horn schnabel tip. Really a special TypeB!

I also saw this rifle, not on Steve Barnett's website, but on Guns International. It must not have been on Steve's website very long at all as I look at the site nearly every day. The GI add describes it as an "African" but it's not an African. Mike Schwandt had an African in 9.3 x 62 a couple of years back. It disappeared in a hurry. Asking was $9,500. The images are still up on his website in the sold items.

I've never heard of a 8x51mm cartridge - most unusual!
Probably a way around the 'military' cartridge issue after WW1 (just shorten the chamber 6mm?) like the opposite of the 8x60mm which lengthens the old 8x57 by 3mm.
Certainly would have predated the 308 by at least 40 years or so!

I have seen a Few with Schnabel shaped horn forends, all was in 30-06 and located in the USA. Usually had octagonal to round barrels too.

With regards to the 9.3x62 Type B on GI, it is on its way home Down Under and sold for more than $10k.

Sporting mausers demanding this kind of price tag, has got to be in exceptionally good & original condition combined with "uncommon" features eg. side safety, octagonal barrel, Single or Double square bridge action etc.

I have an M type in 8 x 51. Would love to have a K or an A in that caliber. Either one must be a great rarity.

I have an 8X51S with a Kurz action. Unfortunately, someone decided to shorten the stock to a point just in front of the rear Schnabel. By some miracle, I managed to locate and acquire an intact S stock inletted for a Kurz action, which I plan to replace the shortened stock with. Because the barrel on the original rifle is about 1" longer than the stock, I will need to have it shortened to fit, and I'm still debating with myself about which gunmaker to entrust with the task.

Xausa, instead of shortening your original barrel by 1" why not adding a 1" ebony or horn schnabel to your replacement stock?

See the 1939 Stoeger ad above for "No. 610".

The 1939 Stoeger Catalog (US) listed a few different models of Mauser rifles and carbines chambered for the 8X51, as well as special orders and raw actions:

Option #07

No. 606K,

No. 615C

No. 625E
