Saving an old 7x57 Original Mauser
07/04/17 07:31 PM

When we acquired this Original Mauser 7x57 she had lost its bolt, some other parts and had no more stock.
The bore seemed good but after cleaning it appeared absolutely perfect.
The double square bridge receiver had an ugly base embedded in the front ring, the job of a would-be gunsmith who had fortunately limited his misdeeds to that part.
The whole thing remained a few years in a corner of the workshop before we decided to revive it.
For the bolt we used a nearly new Mauser made 1909 Peruvian that we modified in our usual style respecting the original look of Oberndorf productions while modernizing it.
The mirror bore original barrel was then set back a full turn and a new chamber cut to CIP standard.
The butchered dovetail on the front flat top has been rectified by the addition of a new TIG welded piece that explains the ostentation of our engraved brand.
Then began the long process of blue printing, squaring, polishing and finishing before we made a special base to complete a new scope mount.
For the new stock we selected an old blank of French walnut of the kind of those used at the time on the productions of high-end special order commercial Mauser sporters. Fairly quiet figure but good grain flow.
Its shape blends our usual style with the more traditional German features.
The Mauser lovers will notice that this rifle benefits of a solid wall double square bridge intermediate length action fitted with the small projection behind the bolt handle to reduce side play.

Regards to all.
