Restored Original Mauser Oberndorf – 7x57 Mauser

[HuntingEnthusiast]

The photos show my original Mauser Oberndorf, manufactured in 1933–34. It features a double square bridge receiver and lacks a thumb cut-out. It is chambered in 7x57 Mauser. I use this rifle regularly for hunting. It is my "favorite firearm." I use exclusively hand-loaded ammunition. Its accuracy is excellent with 170-grain Norma Oryx bullets and 162-grain Hornady SST bullets. The best part is, that both loads group together at 100 meters.

[roverandbrew]

Very beautiful rifle.

 

[bluefish]

Proper, that.

 

[ftothfadd]

Fantastic looking rifle!

I still prefer them original, but there is no mistaking that is a beautiful rifle, I love it. Neat to see the shroud modified like the originals to clear the receiver lug. Whose shroud is that by the way, I don’t recall seeing one quite like that?

hallo, To give you a good, qualified answer, I need to understand what you mean by "shroud." Sorry—English is not my native language, so I need your explanation.

OK, I understand! My weapon safety is a part from the German company "Recknagel." You can find it here:

What all did you have done to it?

What all did you have done to it?

The weapon has received a new stock that corresponds exactly to the original. I also asked my gunsmith to install a new barrel. In terms of its profile, twist rate, and caliber, the barrel corresponds exactly to the original. Admittedly, the mounted Leupold scope is, of course, modern rather than historical. All other parts were restored and reused. The entire weapon has been completely re-blued.

Yes, these are the original triggers. Mauser supplied two types of triggers: a direct trigger (single-stage) and a trigger with a set trigger—just like the one on my rifle.

 

[gearguywb]

Very nice!

 

[MS 9x56]

That stock is absolutely gorgeous. I also applaud your choice of bullets. I have some new old stock 175 grain roundnose RWS that shoot very well also.

Yes, I have 3 Mauser sporters, all 8x57i (.318 bore), and 2 Mannlicher Schoenauers, all have double set triggers.
