Description:
Note: These older pictures when blown up show some surface scratches and even some small dents. Those have been removed. But good photos of the wood that are hard to photograph. Notice the shroud too has been replaced. However this is a 1960's build Custom Mauser 98. Likely a intermediate VI. (A #9 Blackburn size for bottom metal as I have measured that already.) I bought for myself as a mountain rifle thinking a Model 51L JC Higgins. It was the BARREL.The rifle which I really like has a barrel/sight that doubles as a recoil lug allowing the rifle to be 6 lbs 10 oz!! Real smart that.... BUT, the model 51L did not HAVE this Mauser action? And as I learned not likely did the Mauser actions used on the Model 50 either...? And in no way did they come with this wood and checkering!! Please; I make rifles. So you have a $1,500 to $3,000. wood blank today, you stock and checker that, and you are at what, $6,000.00? That's My cost. So my best guess is, the gun was made in the 60's. No makers name; just JC Higgins data remains on the barrel. Serial number not on the Action like Higgins or Mauser but the right side of the barrel. Higgins did not do that. So we could identify as mine? A Joseph Brazier, Ltd or Karl Lippard Designs? Huuum, interesting? I have changed the Shroud from Mauser to a 3 position side safety that I can use; installed a Timney trigger; BUT, if my name I would really have to redo the gun down to metal. Maybe replace the bottom metal too? Now we are out of its saleability. "Shoot it like it is Karl. It's ready." Or sell it to someone who shoots right handed instead of buying a salt wood Browning?? Then for me, find a PO Ackley left handed rifle in 06. Of course I love these iron sights on this one!!! It has scope rings. Got to have that barrel on this one? Huuum, maybe YOU won't buy this gun. I can carry it while I look for an Ackley....Sounds like a plan. And I do love this one. At 79 years old now, I may not find a left hand Ackley.
Not really any handling marks remaining. I judgfe wood to be 99.8%. Barrel 99.8% Other metal is flat but 99.7% plus. Does not look on the bolt face to have been shot much but carried. Some historic slight rust freckling if you look for it under the barrel at the stock. A Mauser buttplate. The rifle looks like you have owned it, not bought last week if I not polished the stock. But something you can lie about that cost you $12,000.00 from me. That is to say if you bought it from me in 1960!!
