That's one of the best pics I've ever gazed upon.

They are extremely solid, dependable rifles, much like Mausers. And the scope mounting system is bulletproof. I found one at the same gunshow that really intrigued me. It was an M77 MkII magnum in 416 Rigby. What a piece that is! Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

OP Big_Redhead Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,950 Michigan	I pulled the "7mm" rifle apart to look for markings and found some interesting stuff. Under the stock, on the front receiver ring is stamped MADE IN BELGIUM and the letters FN inside an oval. On the bottom of the barrel shank is stamped FLAIG'S with a stylized L that I didn't recognize at first. Also on the bottom of the barrel shank is stamped "D 55." The action is extremely well-fited to the stock with a bit of bedding material on the bottom. The bottom metal is one-piece machined steel with an integral magazine box and very well-made. I don't think it was ever taken apart! I did a bit of surfing. Turns out Flaig's was a custom gunmaker in PA after the war and used commercial FN Mauser actions, along with some others, and Douglas barrels to build custom rifles made-to-order. The bore is extremely smooth and the rifling very sharp and uniform. I hope the D 55 stamp means the barrel is indeed Douglas, possibly made in 1955. Can't wait to shoot it! So, did I do OK? The guy I got the rifle from didn't know anything about it. As I said, the only visible marking was "7mm" stamped on the barrel. I found a couple Flaig Mausers for sale online for high prices. God is good to me. He even blesses my gun deals! But then, I asked him to at the same time I committed my meager collection to him. Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply.

Working up a Swede 6.5 x 55 but it's not photo ready yet. The stock is shaped and ready for bedding and finishing. I just need more time. 1Minute

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. [img]http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa451/CKW44/IMG_0034.jpg[/img] 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.

CZ 550 9.3x62 with factory wood that was refinished with TruOil.

Danged near ruined my fingers draw filing. .35-348 Winchester Ackley Improved. Commercial Interarms Mark X Mauser. Barreled action by RCBS with Shilen barrel. Stock by C.P. Donnelly. .375 Epstein Magnum. Mauser actions are still among the best, if not the best.
