Out of Proof Rifles
      12/07/11 06:45 AM

Hello Folks

In talking "mausers" with a dealer here recently he "allowed" that there are "quite a few Mauser sporters being offered at very modest prices in Germany because they have the front reciever ring dovetailed for a scope base, and that these rifles will no long be accepted for proof testing".

I am wondering if anyone else has heard this theory ??

Part two of this query is if this is a fact, it might be a good way of obtaining some reaonably priced parts for rifles I have, I need a rear sight (X2), a bolt and a stock at least. How would it go to buy such a rifle, have the stock, bolt, bottom metal etc and barrel (probably buggered?) removed to scrap the reciever ? Does anyone know a gunsmith or dealer in Germany who might undertake such work.

Thanks - Foster
