You're right , but I think that the production peak was more in the first 10 years , that already increases the number of monthly production. After that there was no longer any need for such systems since France no longer had any colonies.

I don't know if these systems were produced for export , but in the sixties and up to the nineties hardly any custom Big bore rifles were built , and in the nineties the production of Mauser magnum systems started again.



Hello grandveneur,
Thanks for the reply.

Even if production peaked in the first 10 years - that's still less than 4 per month. Based on examples in my study, most of the Brevex actions were exported to the USA, Belgium, Germany , and England, in that order. Very few Brevex actions were made for the French market, colonies or not. By the time Oberndorf Mauser magnum actions were again being made, very few Brevex actions were actually purchased because companies like Ruger, A-Square, Granite Mountain, Montana Rifle Co., Weatherby, Champlin, Schultz Larsen, etc. etc., were all producing Magnum actions at very reasonable prices. That's why Brevex Mauser rifles are quite rare.
