Mauser M98 in 11,2x60 Schuler

[HWL]

Sometimes, a now or never - situation appears........

Exactly this happened to me, and I did the shot, in front of egun.... "the German Gunbroker".

I won an auction for an obviously pre WWI Mauser M98 in 11,2x60 Schuler, made by Otto Bock, Berlin.

Old, worn out, heavily used, but still in original condition.

The gun hopefully will be delivered next week.

No ammo, no cases, no dies, no bullets, no reloading data.... but I am wildly determined to bring it back to life.

You are a patron sir. Save it, love it, get it shooting and preserve it for the next generation. My hats off to you.

Whether the rifle can restored to life or not, it's a piece of hunting history which deserved to go to someone like you that values it for what it represents. Kudos Sir.

That is a treasure!! I owned a somewhat similar rifle a number of years ago (had the 3/4 length stock), and before I could get it up and running I found a fellow with a Lindner (Empire grade) that loved it more than me. If the bore is good, you can get it running again.

I read your thread about your rifle and thought, it is pretty much the same.

But your's was a 11,2x72 Schuler, wasn't it?

Did you shot the buffalo you announced?

Yes it was, but no, I never took it to Africa.

Red Leg, you have good taste.

Good luck with that classic! Looks like Robertson lists brass for it.

no I never hunted it , thats the only bullet that was in the trap when I got the gun

My Sauer double rifle is marked on the underside of the barrels 11.2x60r.
Could your rifle take a rimless version?

 

[HWL]

Your's is, I guess, the rimmed version.

Mine is the rimless version.

What was the use for the 11,2 x60 Schüler, DG?
Also how much energy does it deliver from the muzzle?
