Identifying Mauser Model A vs B vs...?

Damn this thread is getting attention again and I'm looking back at that one rifle... Simpson also has a barreled action that I could maybe do something with.

Something most esoteric, just to have. .318 Westley-Richards, .350 Rigby. .425 Westley perhaps...
 
Sorry to necro this thread, but is this a late production Model B or something different? I know some had the Mauser markings on top and then covered by scope mounting later in the production cycle (or so I have read). Some items seem on point, but others seem off. Thank you.

Replacement clawmounts are probably a $2000 option in the USA.

Here in Germany, they ar about $1200-1500.

Heavily recommended to remove them and put some other sort of mount on.

Kaps Optik makes original looking modern optics for claw mounts, but someone needs to build the claw mount.

Any idea of this is actually a Mauser? Leaning toward maybe a GECO or something.

Not sure, looks like a 1950-1970's sporterized military rifle. I can't see the rest of the stock, the fore end looks off.
 
Triggers seem like FN DeLuxe double-set triggers. I would also say sporterized, 50's+? I have a similar one, including the stock fore end but with modified spoon handle.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
