Mauser Mod. 45 .22 bolt action

[JuergenG]

Also acquired today: Mauser Mod. 45, .,22 mag fed bold action rifle w/ original sling. Approx. 10k of these were made at Mauser Oberndorf under French occupation, before the equipment was transferred to St. Etienne (MAS). This is a VERY early one w/ serial 61, still w/o the Mod. 45 designation under the Mauser banner.

That's a beauty! I've always liked full sized 22s.

Like how the rear sight is on the rear of the receiver.

Great shooting rifles.

Just sold my .22 MAS a few weeks ago. Most accurate rimfire I have ever shot. Was made in 1946 and had the new MAS logo on it.
Extractor was weak, but did its job.
Yours looks pristine. Congrats!

It's a peep sight, frog requirement at the time

Well, I had 2 spare mags for over 10 years and had to wait that long until the rifle joined at the right price
