*RARE COMMERCIAL MAUSER EINHEITS GEWEHR (UNIVERSAL RIFLE) WITH EXCEPTIONAL FANCY WOOD STOCK.

SN 108301. Cal. 8.15 x 46R. This rare Mauser offering with only 373 produced, was built for match shooting in different categories, with accessories to convert it from military match to schuetzen, therefore its name. It came with interchangeable front sights, removable military rear sight, rear diopter (schuetzen) sight which mounted to left side of solid side wall action with three screws, and nestled into cut-out in bridge. Interchangeable trigger system included a special military type single trigger as well as double set triggers. Rifles were made as single shot only, with action having solid cartridge tray and completely shrouded bolt head. This rifle with 29″ bbl has SN at rear, also marked “BLG.” and “Sch H”. Action with Mauser banner on receiver ring, is marked “MAUSER – WERKE AG OBERNDORF a N.” on solid side wall. BUG proofs and SN are on left side of receiver ring, and on root of commercial type bolt handle with pear-shaped knob. One piece flat bottom metal has heat blued lever to release trigger group. This rifle presently has orig barleycorn front sight bead installed, and a military type rear sight from a 1909 Mauser on rear sight base, and dual stage single trigger installed. Undoubtedly these rifles were stored separate from all their accessories, and when liberated, all extra pieces were left hanging in the cupboard. Nearly all examples of this rifle in America were captured in WWII, and have a barracks bag cut in stock. This rifle is no exception. The stock of this rifle is of truly exceptional well marbled and beautifully fiddle figured European walnut. CONDITION: Excellent, as partially refinished. Metal parts retain 80 – 85% orig blue. Stock retains nearly all of an old rubbed oil finish over some light marks. Bore is excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny throughout. Cleaning rod is missing. Jon Speed in THE MAUSER ARCHIVE relates that very few of these rifles were made because they were “simply too expensive for the time.” 4-54044 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2324
