Very nice shotgun! GLWS

I did not. Turns out, the rifle was not a Type B and was also not in as good of shape as advertised. I moved it along and may revisit this project down the road.

Beautiful rifle! I remember inquiring about this one with the seller but apparently took too long to make the easy decision. I’m glad it landed with a fellow AH member. How does it shoot?

I recently bought a Mauser Type B in 8mm for what I thought was a great price with what appears to be a shortened barrel. My plan in purchasing this rifle was to use this as a donor for a 318 WR. While I know some will try and steer me in the direction of another caliber (and I get it), let’s...

Appreciate your guidance, thanks

Thanks @Rare Breed . I should mention that the gun comes with the Rigby paper certificate which confirms all of the specifications.

I’m looking for a possible trade. I’ve listed the rifle for $16.5k on GI so I’d expect trade value to be in-line. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I posted this in another area of this forum but thought I’d resurrect it here to get it in front of the right audience. I have an original Rigby 350 rifle that I bought which I had intended to scope. After talking to a number of folks on here that are more knowledgeable than I, I decided against...

Thanks @Albert GRANT . I’ve met with Paul in-person, and we’ve discussed this as an option. Was curious to see from other members if there were any other options offered, including a scoped 350. Thanks.

I took the rifle into a well-known, well-respected gunsmith here in the northeast US today for a review. His assessment was similar to several of those who’ve already commented and that is that if it were his, he would not alter the gun by scoping it (which is what I was hoping to do from the...

Awesome, thanks Bob. I need to find some dies first, but I plan to go with 225g, at least to start. I have, and have access to, a lot of powders so any suggested recipes you have are welcomed. Thanks again.

Not yet. I’ve reloaded for shotguns extensively but this is my gateway to rifle reloading.

Thank you all for your warm welcomes and comments! One thing that has been weighing heavy on my mind is the idea of scoping it. I understand that altering a 100 year old rifle is generally not looked highly upon and is going to have ramifications from a value standpoint. Would I be doing this...

5k range. Rigby tells me 1926

Hi Everyone! I’m a new member but long time lurker of the forum. My adventure began with my hunting/fishing partner of around 10 years, nearly 45 years my senior. The stories of his several dozen safaris back in the day coupled with my readings of all the classics really sparked the fire of...
