Daniel Fraser Mausers chambered for Rimmed Cartridges
05/01/17 04:53 AM

A question For those of you lucky enough to have handled an original Daniel Fraser Mauser.

I have looked at 2 examples of Original Fraser rifles on the internet recently, both built on 1896 Mauser small ring actions. Both are also set up for rimmed cartridges. One is currently on the Steve Barnett website for sale and chambered for .303 British. The other was sold by Hollowell&Co. and was chambered for .360 2 1/4 Nitro Express. Both of the 96 actions appear to use the original box magazine and floorplate.

How did Fraser modify these actions to feed/chamber rimmed rounds properly ? Was the original box magazine somehow modified internally ? Or is it simply a matter of opening the bolt face and feed rails ?

I understand Rigby used a slanted box magazine for rimmed rounds, however as I said above these rifles appear to use the original Military Box magazine.
