Well, here goes a try. I had the camera out today to photograph some guns I'm going to try and sell locally and also took some Mauser photos at the same time. The light in my basement is not the best so the photos are mediocre at best but the weather is not good outside.

First a Mini-Mauser 223 with the original stock cut down and refinished to be used by grandkids and daughter-in-law.

Next is my old 7x57 off a military action to start with. Much modified and much used over the years. My sentimental favorite.

Next a 1951 Husqvarna (LR FN action) 270, well worn when bought a year ago. Stock replaced with a Rem 798 stock and with a Pecar 4x scope that came on a different rifle. The scope mounts came with the 270 and they are old -but you can see that the Talley Lightweights are not exactly a wholly new idea they fit Weaver bases. The scope has a 26mm tube but on a whim I tried these rings and they appear to work (haven't shot it yet with this scope). The front site hood is off the Mini-Mauser.

Next the newest acquisition a Husqvarna FS in 30-06. Currently wearing a Burris 2-7X35 but will probably end up with a Leupold 3x20 as I prefer the looks of straight tube scopes on FS rifles.

Of course a post on Mausers would not be correct without my Henriksen 257 Roberts. It has a few nicks in the stock from honest use before I got it. It will be used again this year if I draw tags.

Last one that has been posted before. CZ 550 9.3x62 with factory wood that was refinished with TruOil.
