FN Mauser 1951

[spitfire_er]

I have a nice FN Commercial Mauser that needs a new home. Very smooth running action. Standard bolt face, hinged steel Floor plate, 3 position safety, talley rings, 8-40 screws. I have too many irons in the fire. Feeds 30-06 cases good.

$750 shipped.

I also have a nice high figure walnut stock listed here that will work with this action. Will sell both together for $1,000 plus shipping cost.

Someone asked about the rails. Appear as though they have been polished a little, but the geometry matches my untouched FN.

I have an FN from the early 50s and the feed rails and ramp are beautifully polished from the factory. The stock is properly cast off for perfect sight alignment again from the factory. They did work that would cost bunches to have it done today. The only thing not perfect about mine was the trigger (military style) which I quickly replaced. They are grand rifles!

There's a shadow right where I was trying to see if the rail was machined through or if it is a "C" ring.

Do these help?

the second one shows what I was trying to see. The older style had the rail machined through for the extractor but had the shoulder that the barrel butted up against was solid on the other side. the newer style is like yours where both sides are cut through.

It's stamped 1951, what date is new vs old?

Very nice action. Just to confirm a couple observations. That has an inside of the trigger guard floor plate release? Who made the safety/bolt shroud? Is that safety two position or three? It looks like a Weisner unit. High quality stuff. That’s a lot of bang for the buck. Those modifications are expensive.

Has a Dayton Tristar trigger too. It is a 3 position. I think its a PTG bolt shroud. There is a button on the trigger gaurd for the Floorplate release.

I checked scope ring alignment. Two 1" bars show about 10 thou misalignment in the center side to side. Up and down about 8 thou in the middle. Should lapp out because you are dealing with less than half those numbers on each ring.

this action is one of the smoothest commercial 98 Mauser I've played with. I'm tempted to pull my custom FN apart that I built about 13 years ago and swap actions. Time is always my constraint though.

also here is a link to the listed walnut stock. Its for a g33/40, but should fit this one with minor inletting. The pair i figured makes a hell of a deal.

Figured Walnut Shaped Blanks G33/40, M70

I've got a couple nicely figured old rough shaped blanks that I hate to sell, but don't have any ambition to take ether rifle on at this time. These are old stocks. 30+ years old and most likely older. I know the Mauser stock is an old Fajen Rheinhart stock, and I think the M70 is as well, but I...

That's the trigger that I put on mine, very nice. What a great high quality package!

 

[spitfire_er]

Must be an older trigger, says "patent pending"

$700 shipped on the action
$1,000 shipped for action and stock.

Kudos to you for posting the images of the scope mount alignment. I don't think that would present any problem with the common two-piece rear mount with windage adjustment. Once could lap the rings also. There are many factory rifles with similar variance.

 

[spitfire_er]

I would be willing to lapp and mark the rings for free if someone buys the action!

 

[spitfire_er]

$675 shipped on the action. Any lower and ill just keep it.

 

[spitfire_er]

$650 shipped. This is cheaper than you can source the parts individually for.

I'll take it. Sending PM
