blackbearhunterWestern field Mauser
Found a old western field mauser for sale,good shape,caliber unknown,looked 7mm size bore,side of action had berlin on it,i guess its a DWM action?No receiver crest.Would the date made be under the wood?What calibers & mauser actions did western field use on there sporters and what years where these rifles built?It was a pretty cool little rifle with iron sights only,never drilled for a scope.Any info appreciated.Thanks
Westernfield imported Mauser sporters in the 1960's that were built by various shops in Germany.  Are there any markings at all on the barrel?
It's probably a Westernfield model 720.  I owned one a while back.  It was a FW heym built gun with an intermediate length mauser style action and lever release magazine.  The bolt shroud looks just like an FN.
