RARE MARS MODEL 115 PARLOR RIFLE.

RARE MARS MODEL 115 PARLOR RIFLE. Cal. About 8 mm. NSN. Unusual little rifle that resembles a GEW K98 rifle, probably intended as a training aid. It has an overall bbl length including integral receiver of 30-3/8″ with a high barleycorn front sight and military style rear sight with German style side sling swivels. The receiver is marked “MARS 115” on the top and “VENUS WAFFENWERK ZELLA-MEHLIS (GERMANY)” on the side and there is a number stamped behind the trigger guard “K/315713”. Opening the bolt completely to the rear and apparently inserting a pellet in a rotating trap, which is 12” from the muzzle on top of the bbl, operate the action. Then, when the bolt is closed, it can be fired. CONDITION: Very good plus. Metal retains 75-80% orig blue mixed with light surface rust. Wood is sound and retains a fine hand rubbed patina. Missing the wiping rod and front band screw. Mechanics appear to be fine. 4-54292 JR77 (300-500)
