Description:
Serial #226124, 6.5 x 55mm, 29" barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a 1908-dated rifle that has all matching numbers and is outfitted with a Swedish Söderin micrometer diopter target rear sight, and globe front target sight with lollipop insert. The metal retains 90-92% of the original blue finish, with some silvering at the muzzle, as well as along the raised edges and projections. The straight-handled bolt still has the armory bright finish, with some scattered spots of mild surface freckling on the knob. The original tangent rear sight was removed, but the brilliant fire blue remains on the leaf spring. An import stamp is present on the underside of the barrel. The hardwood stock and handguard are in fine shape with small handling marks and surface blemishes scattered throughout. The stock disk gives a nominal bore diameter of 6.52mm, and grade 1 classification. An unnumbered cleaning rod is included. This is an excellent Swedish Mauser target rifle, and would make a great addition to any collection. FFL or C&R
