*UNUSUAL SQUARE BRIDGE KURTZ ACTION MAUSER TYPE B SPORTER WITH SCOPE. SN 86707. (ca. 1923) Cal. .358 Winchester (Rebored and chambered from 8 x 51 K Mauser). This lightweight fast handling sporter is fitted with scarce tapered full octagon ribbed bbl. Rib is matted full length, and roll stamped with “WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A.-G. OBERNDORF am NECKAR.” One standing two folding leaf rear sight marked for 100, 200, and 300 yards is dovetailed through rib. Bead front sight is dovetailed through raised portion of rib which forms a ramp base. Knurled steel sight protector is present. One inch sling loop is screwed through integrally milled sling eye on bottom of bbl. Small ring square bridge special short action is fitted with original factory scope mounts with checkered front claw base dovetailed through stippled receiver ring. Unique Mauser rear release is milled into checkered square bridge, and rear portion of bolt stop thumbpiece is cut away to clear detent. Left side of receiver is stamped with SN and “8.0 K.P WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER – OBERNDORF a/n”. Receiver is also stamped with B and U crowned proofs. “358W” has been added in electric pencil below SN, and on left rear of bbl. Special short bolt has unaltered typical commercial Mauser pear-shaped knob with SN and proofs at root. Bolt has long cocking piece and has been fitted with Buehler low scope safety. Bottom metal has hinged floorplate with fire-blued lever release and original double set triggers. Rather plain, dense European walnut pistol grip stock measures 14-5/8″ over Silvers type pad, and features right hand cheekpiece, steel grip cap, sling swivel, Schnabel tip, and 20 LPI checkering with line border. Oigee GNOM 4 X scope with heavy crosshair and post reticle is fitted to soldered on claw and post bases. Rear base is adjustable for windage. Drop at heel: Approx 2-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-7/8″. Weight: 6 lbs. 7 oz without scope, LOP 14-5/8″. CONDITION: Excellent, as refurbished. Metal parts retain virtually all of a high quality blue, preserving sharp edges and lettering. Stock retains nearly all of a professional rubbed oil finish, which looks original. Bore is excellent, sharp, bright, and shiny, and obviously done by a high quality re-borer, possibly Van Patten. Consignor states “Rifle feeds flawlessly, and shoots exceedingly well.” Set triggers work. Scope optics are very slightly cloudy, but quite usable. A superb hunting rifle in a very fine caliber for any North American game. 4-41828 MGM11 (4,500-6,500)
