Custom 243 FN Mauser - Nils Hultgren stock w/ Ivory & Gold
      11/08/23 01:46 PM

Hello All,

This rifle was built in the 1960s. Its a custom FN Mauser in 243 Win caliber. I'm still researching the History to determine the exact maker. I suspect there are only 4 possibilities, - Weatherby, Winslow, O'Brien, and A&M. All 4 employed Nils Hultgren as their premiere stock maker. The action is beautifully fully engraved and the stock is wonderful fiddle-back Maple with walnut forend tip and grip cap. It has a carved ivory inlay of a Boar on a black ebony background that is signed by Nils at the bottom. The other large inlay is an ebony Boar silhouette on an ivory background. It also has ivory/ebony side inlays. And there are 2 gold inlays - one on the bottom of the floorplate is another Boar, and the one on the bottom of the trigger guard is a bear. I added a vintage Redfield 4x-12x ranging scope, and field tested it yesterday with excellent groups. This is sure to be the great Hog-Killer as it was intended by the original owner.
