*RARE MAUSER MODEL G41M BOLT ACTION/SEMI-AUTO GERMAN MILITARY RIFLE. SN 11677. Cal. 8×57 Mauser. Most unusual rifle with 23″ bbl with G41 style muzzle brake, ramp front sight with hood and a 1200 meter rear sight. Receiver is built with the appearance of a bolt action rifle and will operate as such but will also function as a semi-automatic. It is equipped with a rear mounted bolt handle and an action cover secured with spring-loaded latches on each side of the front end that when depressed allows the cover to open exposing the entire inner works. It utilizes a 10 round box magazine that has replaced the regular Mauser style floorplate. It is mounted in a one-piece walnut stock with split front band/bayonet lug and rear band with integral sling loop and the normal slot in the stock for the rear end of the sling and contains an original German military sling. Left side of the butt is marked with a “WaA135” Waffenampt. It has a stamped steel buttplate and is accompanied by an original, mismatched bayonet with steel sheath and black leather frog. Consignor states that this is an officer’s WWII bring back and was obtained directly from the family. Very few of these rare rifles were ever produced and a very few of those survive today. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine, all matching. Metal retains most of its fine original factory finish, thinned and turning brown on the muzzle brake and that portion of the exposed bbl. Receiver and action cover retain strong bright blue. Trigger guard and magazine are a plum-brown patina. Wood is sound with light handling and use marks and retains most of a finish added long ago. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore with light pitting. Bayonet has been sharpened but is fine. 4-38987 (7,500-12,500)
