Gentlemen Sorry no picture I am looking for a picture of the Mauser African model with the long 7/8 foreend. (not full-stock) I only have a small picture of one from the article by Harald Wolf "Romancing the long rifle" It is also known as the Model long carabin. I would furthermore be very interested in the Hatari magazine where this article is. Cheers, Andr� | ||

I had the good fortune to acquire two Mauser Afrika Models, one in 7x57 and the other in 8x57 in 1998 as part of a trade - the fellow parted with these rifles in exchange for a Berretta O/U - methinks I got the better end of the deal The 8x57 has a full length octaganol barrel while the 7x57 has semi-octagonal barrel with a full length flat rib and an intermediate action. Both rifles serial numbers feature in Jon Speed's "big" Mauser book. Both rifles are in 1st class original condition with matchng serial numbers on all parts - plus as a bonus they are very accurate. Their looong barrels and lean looks make my 20" and 22" stopping rifles look like short stocky wrestlers.... | |||

You lucky man Both calibers are true classics. Now if I give you two Berettas do we then have a deal Cheers, Andr� | |||

Alf I found this picture on the internet. What do you think of the stock design any coments. I looks a bit longer then normal but not quite 7/8 foreend maybe a 6/8 foreend The rifle is new and not a classic. http://www.lechner-jungl.com/deutsch.htm?http://www.lechner-jungl.com/inhalte/boltactionrifle.htm More pictures of fine rifles. Cheers, Andr� | |||

JOHAN I am back to one Beretta but this time it is a SO9 EELL and I will ever throw in a bow of Elay. Cheers, Andr� | |||

Andr� Psst, a hint I think your offer would turn into a substantial loss. A S09 EELL is not cheap Cheers / JOHAN | ||

Alf Quote: do not tempt me with an even more cool model I look forward to recieving the picture of this rifle. I might not go with the 7/8 foreend but make it like the Harald Wolf 8x68s longrifle that he build for himself. I looks more english in design. Ja This Otto Bock is for sale in Sweden for 100,000 SKR that is about 100,000 Rand. The rifle looks great dont it ? Caliber .280 Ross Cheers, Andr� | |||
