Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Show me your MAUSERS and I'll show you mine

>chuckle'<

I'd agree, but I've got two of the same design, but built 50-years apart!

Glad you posted the closeup of 33/40. I much prefer the rear base of the SK, to that of Conetrol.

Mako,
They couldn't have copied me, I wasn't even born when your rifles were made? hmmm
I thought I was being original in my pattern? guess not.
And yes the SK bases are much more stylish.

32-20fan,
Thanks for the kind words, but my rifles dont compare to Edm's
his were done by pro's, mine were DIY in my garage.
Ed has exquisite taste in firearms!

Belgium FN made Browning small ring Safari in .257 Roberts. One of approximately 25 made in that caliber. It's so rare that the caliber wasn't even listed in Browning catalog offerings during production years. Has Buehler mounts and has a vintage 2x7 Browning scope on it (not shown).

KR13,
That Mauser is amazing!
At first I thought Browning olypian? Then looked closer and
realized its a military Mauser, whats the story and specs?
Appears to have an octagon barrel with quarter rib?
Thanks for posting.

Here's a pic of the bottom metal. The rifle was built for me by my Grandfather. He did not do the engraving though. The name of the man who did escapes me at the moment. I never got the chance to talk to him about the rifle since he passed away while I was in the Army. It is a full rib on octagon to round barrel.It wears a Vari-X III scope. I am in no way shape or form a Mauser expert so I wont pretend to know too much more than that. The pics suck so I apologize for that. Maybe this weekend I can take some with a real camera.

This man favors a young Nick Nolte with a mustache.If that upsets you,sorry.

Shameless: Whaddya mean?

It is Nick Nolte that will be upset at that comparison!

Sorry Ingwe... I could not let low-hanging fruit like that go by without picking it!

Here is a picture of the G33/40 Mauser in 7X57 I recently acquired at the prompting of fellow 'fire members. It's "build" was coordinated by the late Jim Wilkinson of the Rifle Ranch in Prescott, Arizona.

I'm still working on other leads to get additional information about the rifle's history. It apparently made at least one safari, to India.

Just put the Leupold M8 4X33 on it. Can't wait to shoot it!!!

m48 with shilen barrel

Gorgeous stock there. It's pleasing that who ever did the metal work didn't ruin the markings on the action.

8x60s

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving! Thanks all for posting your gorgeous artwork. Keep-'em coming!

Old mate, before you shoot that you may want to bed the action and seriously consider cross bolts as the 8x60 in the models 21/22 have a habit of splitting the tang and wrist.

Please bed it at the very least.

ps...you have great taste.
