Mauser eye candy

[Mongo59]

Before I go out to spend the day on the tractor, I thought I would give you all something to marvel over.

Below we were talking about European modified Mausers. This is one that was highly modified by a famous gunsmith in Austria. It started life as a Gewher 88 in 7mm Mauser but was changed to chamber the .270. This was a bring back from post war Germany that had be sent off by a Gun and Rod club on one of the American bases. I am not sure of the type of wood used in the Mannlicher stock but it looks like English Walnut.










Yes, the mag plate is silver. If you look the bolt safety is still there but not functioning due to the scope so he added a tang safety. You would be surprised at how light weight this rifle is. The sling is kind of rough but original to the gun.

Google M Amrusch Mauser for more of his work.

That is just flat out beautiful Mongo!

 

[Noble Sniper]

That is a true work of art!!! Splendid!!!

That is very nice, Dennis!

That is a very nice rifle, Dennis!

But you have a typo in the description. It's a 98, not an 88.

Fat fingers...

That is fan-freaking-tastic! Just a piece of art. Is that the original owners initials on the trigger guard?

 

[BigRed]

Very nice!

Mauser made some excellent handguns as well.

 

[indyjohn]

I'd hit it.





The rifle, not the model...

I believe so

I've got the vapors!

 

[MrSmitty]

PPG… Pennsylvania Plate Glass?

[Bluedragon]

I really like the engraving on the bolt handle and on the magazine floorplate.

 

[BIGE7.62]

Old school German Craftsmanship, very nice !

 

[bgcatty]

What a piece of gun art! I can only imagine how nice it would be to shoot this beauty and just admire it shot after shot. Just amazing.

 

[BigRed]

I have never understood how engravers do what they do; particularly at rhat time.

I could not draw anything close to that on a flat piece of paper with a pen and pencil....let alone lay it down on a rifle with all the contours.

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

 

[Twangbanger]

Niice...would love to see a full shot of the stock...

 

[tomcat13]

Some Beautiful Craftmanship there, on what I still consider the Finest Bolt Action made. But I'm proud to be "Old School." Thanks for sharing the Pics!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Like the rifle itself isn't gorgeous enough, but that engraving.... good lord.
