Bump. Trade for any German guns, I mostly collect 1920’s-40’s commercial and military.

If that bucket has nearly turn of the century JP Sauer rings in it, please contact me. I’m not an optic collector so I can’t tell you much on CP. Goerz, other than they were a prime supplier to JP Sauer, starting early on. This catalog I pulled out is not super early, but here is an example...

Beautiful rifle, good to see it has a new home, a 7x65 double is also one of my prized rifles, congrats to the new owner.

BTT, cross posting this add now.

BTT, I will also entertain rifles with minor issues, a replacement safety or buttpad or some such. Thanks for looking.

In my hurry I overlooked the 27 under the bolt root etc, this rifle is numbered very odd for sure.. Has anyone seen Sauer apply an arbitrary assembly number to components before? Yours is near the earliest Sauer Mausers I’ve recorded, which are in the high 60k range. Sauer serials also float...

Sauer built on these very early transitional actions, I believe this is actually a model 97 action. Oberndorf serial 94, I have others recorded very close as well. The Sauer 70K series serial also agrees with a very early rifle. These early test actions were sold to other makers around this...

Bill, thank you sir! That sounds completely correct, I am presuming that is a Stoeger catalog number you have mentioned, though I am not positive. Definitely interested!

I know where you’re coming from and agree with that sentiment as well. However instead of making a baseless claim, I think I substantiated my claim fairly well, providing photographic evidence, information from my cataloging of JP Sauer Mausers for the last couple of decades, and asking for...

Hello, I don’t mean to be either, but if it looks like an Oberndorf in hand, then you have most likely proven my point. Sauer receivers have a bone charcoal finish until roughly the early 1930’s, well past the 200k serial range. At that point they switched to rust blue, and ironically this is...

It’s a typical production model from Sauer, they have a handful of general models if you will, that they produced, however I don’t know of any official distinction between any of them, their catalogs certainly don’t make any. Some were short barreled half stocked, most were long, and roughly 7%...

Thank you. If I could find a Mauser type S or M without issues I certainly would sell, however I haven’t seen one on the market in over a year that didn’t have some kind of issue as far as originality is concerned that’s why I’m trying to trade at current. The proofing on it is post 1891 I...

First off, I love this little double so I am perfectly happy keeping it, but I haven’t had a chance to load for it or anything yet. On the other hand I have been looking for a good Mauser Type S or M for a few years with no luck and considered this might be a decent trade or partial trade. I...

They are my favorite for sure. I’m also partial to Sauer, nice to hear about one still being used!

Thank you Gents and yes that is a beautiful Jeffery! Some wonderful rifles in here for sure.

Thank you! Yes sir, it sure is. It has a neat little two cartridge trap on it, I’ve not seen one that small personally. Flip up aperature and a flip up ivory bead front sight too.

How about a smaller one, a Scherping 9.3mm double

Looking forward to pictures. There is something unusual about your rifle and pictures of the proofs below the wood could really help understand what that is. Regards

It is a beautiful rifle, and with that cartridge I would be shocked if there were zero cracks honestly. There is a crack at the right receiver as well, this would be nice to see with the action out.

Can I see the bolt proofing please and are any parts of the bolt back half numbered to it? Any trade interests?

PM sent

It is almost undoubtedly a wartime receiver, with all the finishing shortcomings as the war progressed they certainly go down hill, unless a lot of work was put into them to clean them up. I have a 1942 that’s really smooth and well put together, but many others are rough. Another, a Dec 1944...

It is indeed produced during the war, proofed in march of 41 as stated previously, so the rifle would have been completed sometime after that, likely no later than April but there’s no way to know for sure. It certainly isn’t an early gun in any way, the machining of the bolt shroud and safety...

I’m looking for some 8x68 even one box would be great. I have several boxes of Geco ammo for trade, not all pictured. I am also looking for vintage collector ammo, 7x64, 7x65R, 7x57R from pre 1945. I have several vintage boxes for trade bait too, 9.3x72, 10.75x73, 6.5x58, 8x64 etc. Located...

lincoxn is a scammer, tells me a certain dealer has the brass I’m looking for and shoots me their contact info. First time scammed in 21 years of collecting, over some brass.. ha.

Good luck with your builds, here’s some pictures of the feed work done on one of the original rifles, a 1942 August Schüler. The rails are opened, ramp is contoured and blended, rear bridge is milled back, the back end of mag box is completely cut out and widened appropriately, follower face...

+1 that would be great! Welcome

Bump please

I still consider it a better fate than being ran over by a Sherman, like thousands of others. I bought this from the General’s estate a few years ago. His picture here was taken during the Bulge.

How about a small 7mm prewar German double and the man who brought it back :D

Even before you posted the GI link, I believed your rifle was likely built by Schüler from the features, so I would agree. Stmg is in relation to proof load, meaning Stahlmantelgeschoss or that it was proofed for steel jacketed bullets, and should give the bullet weight as well. It has...

Saw this one just pop up, probably a bit pricey for it. Good luck in your search! https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/interarms-rifles/interarms-whitworth-english-375-h-h-mag-rifle-with-leupold-scope-excellent-condition.cfm?gun_id=102222939#mob-6

I’m looking for a little bit of ammo for a nice old 1940’s rifle, even one box would suffice, Rws is preferred but I’d take any. Thanks for looking.

Thanks everyone!!

Beautiful Type M! This rifle won’t have a proof date on it like a Suhl or Zella Mehlis gun. An Oberndorf will have a string of numbers, representing the bore gauge and rifle twist rate etc. You need the serial range to determine when it was made and it can be cross referenced against the...

Thank you everyone! I grew up in both South Central TX as well as AK, but I’m now in DFW as well. I split my time between east and west, if you happen to be in Cash then we are very close, at least for part of the week ha! I have always had a strong affinity for Mausers, but I also love a...

My name is Clay, I have an unhealthy obsession with German rifles and have collected them since I was 12. About the most I ever chase are hogs out here but love reading stories from Africa and have found myself on this site many times over the years so I figured I would join. Thanks for having me.
