Well I acquired this...
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I need to get some ammo for it and see how it shoots.
It's definitely cobbled together...
After doing some digging and pulling it apart. It's a Chinese mauser. Have to pull the scope mount off to see what year it was made.
After I took the scope off. I found that the weaver rails are literally just epoxied onto the receiver. So I guess that's nice that it isn't D&T.
Barrel is spot welded to the reciever..
Thankfully I didn't pay anything other than about an hour of my time moving firewood.
Story goes buddy bought it thinking it was a pre64 winny in 22-250. Buys it for 375 and it turns out it's a 220 swift Chinese mauser.
I'm gonna grab a box of ammo and sight it in for shits and giggles. Probably cut the spot weld and pull the barrel. When cleaning it I could see the stamping of barrel maker on the barrel face.
Pretty sure it was made in a garage with a Dremel but we'll see.
What does a guy do with a rough mauser action??
