Had forgotten about EAW. Looks like they also make claw mounts for the Dumoulin.

FOR ANYBODY WANTING MOUNTS FOR THIS ACTIONI just called Sunny Hill manufacturing and they still have mounts (in stock) for this action. He told me they have both 30MM and 1" and will make more if there is a demand for them. They are $210 for regular non-Q/D and $225 for Q/D plus $7 for shipping. A little pricey but a lot cheaper than EAW's and IMHO, better looking. This is what I'm running on mine and had to order another pair while I had him on the phone Here is the other side for those interested.

Hey ab_bentley, just wanted to say thanks for the link! I went ahead and bought another one this morning. When I got my last one they were hard to find then and I always wanted another.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with mine yet. It'll probably just sit in the safe for sometime while I daydream about it.

Terry-
If I might ask, how would you compare the quality of the action itself ( not considering the value of the safety and bottom metal) against a commercial FN?
The image in the ad suggests the machining/ finish of these might be a bit rough. Did you have to have a lot of work done to yours to finish it out?
Thanks
Bob

Here is the other side for those interested. Looking closer at this view, it looks like the roll mark says "Global Trading". Weren't these the Italian-made Mauser actions that Legacy imported 10 - 15 years ago? Global Trading Mauser

Weren't these the Italian-made Mauser actions that Legacy imported 10 - 15 years ago? Global Trading Mauser Yes, and that is the exact same action Domoulin has used for years. I'm not sure what the roll mark will say on this one from Sarco but, it's the same action. It's just like a Zastavia mauser. It's been called a Whitworth, Zastavia, Charles Daly, Remington and now Zastavia again. But, it's still the same action. I should have one of the new ones in hand next week. I will compare the two and report back.

Bob IMO, the FN is one of the slickest commercial Mausers ever made and this one isn't. It's more compariable to the Zastavia line. On the last one I bought the finish below the stock line was/is rough as a corn cob. The timing on the safety was off. The floorplate had a little more play in it than it should have had and the blueing was awful. All that can be fixed though and when you compare the features to the price (3 - position safety, bow release straddle floorplate , integral machined bridges) it's a stone cold bargain. Just don't expect to pull it out of the box and screw a barrel on. I'm not anyway.

I don't think these were ever marketed or represented as a Belgium made action were they?

Sure does They need to change that. I'm real interested in what the rollmark is going to say.

Oh No, the suspense will mount As to the overall quality. It's going to take some time to get it right. The bottom metal is a knock of Jerry Fisher/ Blackburn. The 3pos shroud is rough, mine won't even allow the bolt to cock. It has a high spot. The trigger is good. Adam

It sounds a lot like the last one I bought. It wasn't perfect but everything was fixable. I'm running the original trigger on mine still. I do see a Dumoulin billboard on the left side of yours.

It's there and it's etched in, not cut or carved.
