Wilhelm Brenneke rifle?
15/03/18 02:21 AM

Hi all, I purchased this rifle recently from someone who inherited it. It was brought back from WWII by a Soldier and subsequently re-barreled to .30-06 in the 1950s and scoped with a custom adapter to use the existing double claw bases. It was used by this individual for over 60 years as his personal hunting rifle. The barrel has 6 grooves and no markings at all, the sights are from a Remington 721 from 1948.

The action is a matching commercial Mauser Oberndorf standard length dating to 1912. All parts match to the last 2 digits of the serial number. The receiver is commercial proofed circa 1913 and also has a revision/rebuild proof. The engraving on both the receiver and bottom metal is identical to that found on period Wilhelm Brenneke rifles, but because his name was signed on the barrels, I cannot otherwise identify the rifle. This rifle has had a very long service life... used and rebuilt in Germany, then rebuilt and used in America, then I have put it in to use yet again...
