Description:
c1923 mfr. German Proofed SYSTEM AYDT Schutzen Single Shot TARGET Rifle C&R

German Action Designed by Carl Wilhelm Aydt

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R System Aydt Stye Schuetzen Target Rifle made circa 1923 in Germany. The swinging-block action Aydt system was designed by German gunsmith Carl Wilhelm Aydt (1847-1923) and patented in 1885. Aydt target rifles and pistols, known under German terms as Schuetzen and Scheibenbüchse, were produced until 1939 by C.G. Haenel Waffenfabrik, F.W. Heym Gewehr-Fabrik, August Schüler and other manufacturers. All of the original System Aydt guns used actions made by Haenel with the rest of the rifle completed by another maker. Most of these rifles were made in Suhl or Zella-Mehlis (the German gun-making center) and sold to a retailer who had his name put on the rifle. Together with the Martini system, the Aydt system was most widely used in German target rifles of late 19th-early 20th century.

The overall condition is fine. Original finishes, blued barrel and case hardened frame. The stock and forend are fine with deep checkering and little wear. Strong action, although the double set trigger mechanism does not fully function. Absent tang peep sight and front sight post. Legible markings. On this example, the double set trigger frame is marked with “ORGINAL SYSTEM AYDT” and is detachable.
