Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles H&R 330 No Name Mauser Action

Already been answered it seems but, I'll pop this info anyway:

Sako (L461, and L61) and FN (Commercial Mauser / "Mauser Supreme") are both clearly marked by their respective co's. ZATASVA's are the only one's actually marked H&R on the receiver, front ring, left side. H&R Serial opposite. , with a separate Zastava serial on the rear ring, right side - and underside of the bolt handle matching.

Based on your description, you got a H&R barrel, (Douglas , we think) , and a replacement Zastava action. Probably with a not-great Zastava, or random something trigger too. Unless it has the H&R mark ON IT it is not the original.

The OP is asking about the H&R 330 model. Those used FN commercial mauser actions, from 1968-1972. At that time, Harrington and Richardson bought surplus FN actions and built sporting rifles from those actions. After the H&R 330, they started manufacturing the 340. The H&R 340, which is different, used the Zastava actions, which were also a commercial mauser action. The H&R 340 was labeled on the receiver:


I believe Bliarvt said his is labeled on the barrel. Could possibly be, but I'd bet it's marked just like mine is..

Get the Resize Picture app for your iPhone. Easy-peasy, and no need to go to an outside provider.

Nice rifle.

I’m convinced it’s a replacement action. It’s not even marked H&R on the side. The barrel is without question H&R model 330. I’ll get some resized pics up on Monday. I’m out of town at the moment.

Thanks again everyone for the responses!

If it isn't marked H&R as a Zastava, it is a replacement.

I’m not goin to shoot the donor, even with a nice Douglas barrel. I have another vintage .243, BSA Majestic featherweight, so this one will become a .358 Win.
