Custom 7x57 Mauser Rifle

Description:
Waffebfabrik Mauser intermediate length action, No. 102149 (ca. 1929 according to Speed's book) with pear shaped bolt handle, bolt shroud, and "flag" safety all w/ matching numbers to the action. Original Mauser bottom metal with a hinged floorplate and inside-the-bow release. Action is also fitted w/ an upgraded Dayton Traister Mk II replacement trigger. 

Claw mounts on the rounded rear bridge and a band sleeved over the Nock's form. Mauser style claw mounts have "sight tunnels" through the bottom of their posts and hold a vintage Carl Zeiss Zielvier telescopic sight. 

It appears to be an original Mauser barrel w/ 19 1/4" of barrel outside of the action. A Mauser island rear sight is sleeved onto the barrel with 1 standing/1 folding Express sight and a banded ramp front sight w/ removable sight hood as well as a barrel band front swivel. 

A very well made and nicely shaped walnut stock has a 13 7/8" LOP over a Mauser trap butt. Stock has a traditional beaded cheekpiece, 22 lpi wrap checkering w/ a borderless raised lip on the back of the hand and mullered borders along the straight edges. Wrap checkering on the forearm with mullered borders and an Ebony forend tip. A sling swivel stud stands along the toe line of the stock. 

Unfortunaetly, neither the metal work nor the stock work is signed, regardless, this is a very nicely finished rifle. 

The rifle weighs 8 lbs 7 oz.

The stock shows some very minor handling marks and retains most of its high lustre oil finish. Metal is excellent as refinished. 

Bore is excellent and scope optics are clear.
