Beautiful German Dreyse Stalking Rifle
11/05/20 01:16 AM

I have a beautiful German stalking rifle built on an interesting Dreyse action. Based on a chamber cast, it appears to be chambered in the popular, but now obsolete, 10.5x47R black powder cartridge. Unlike many similar rifles, this is not a sporterized M71, as some assume. It has a 28.5” Octagonal barrel, Double Set Triggers and a Tangent rear sight similar to ones seen on Swiss rifles. I would rate the metal finish at over 70% with minor edge wear. The bore is EXCELLENT!!! Stocks are VG+ with a few minor scuffs and handling marks. Top flat of barrel marked C.I. ARESCHOUGS IN MALMO. Areschougs was a sporting goods and hardware store in Malmo, Sweden that imported many items from all over Europe. The faceted receiver, triggerguard and buttplate have traces of case coloring. Receiver has some light scroll engraving. Since I am not a subscriber to any photo hosting sites, I cannot upload photos. I can send photos via email. Looking for other examples of similar rifles on Dreyse actions. Thanks.

If allowed, there are pics here. Rifle is for sale.

NOTE: When first listed, I thought it was a Mouser variant. Once bids were made, I could not edit.
