Mauser type B - 8x57JS

MAUSER ORIGINAL OBERNDORF

Rifles

Category : C

Caliber : 8x57JS

 

A very interesting civilian Original Mauser B hunting rifle built in Oberndorf in 1915 on a commercial 98' action fitted with double set triggers and magazine floorplate opening by key.

The 24" round barrel, with first type stepped profile, is chambered for the classic 8x57IS CIP

Its "S" bore is absolutely perfect and shoots accurately modern RWS loads.

The sighting relies on a platinum lined two-leaf slanted rear sight regulated on a small silver bead front sight seated on an elongated knurled ramp.

The 14½" LOP stock, made of quiet French walnut, bears a slim schnabel ending forend and a steel capped checkered grip while the horn butt plate is monogrammed WM interlacing reminiscent of the Waffenfabrik Mauser marking that adorns the receiver left side wall.

The action remains the traditional Mauser 98 in commercial configuration, with its elegant pear-shaped bolt handle and the famous factory double set trigger whose mechanism is machined in the trigger guard.

The slow rust bluing, remarkably resistant, suffers from very few light faded areas and if the wood bears some insignificant marks, testimony to a century of use, all the parts are numbered at the same serial number.

This rifle is in excellent conservation condition, and, of course, it functions flawlessly and shoots with excellent accuracy.

 

Even if the bolt on this rifle does not bear the same serial number, a common thing on rifles of this period which remained secure until after the war, it has now become difficult to find such a period Original Mauser rifle in original state that has not undergone any alteration or modification.
