Stumbled into this at Gunsamerica. Beautiful stuff.

I like that VERY much!

What is the action on this rifle ?
It looks like a Mauser action, if so I wonder where one could get a trigger with a tang safety ??

It's a 1909 and the trigger is a Canjar. I would think any Mauser trigger with side safety like FNs, Husqvarnas and Zastavas would be convertible. You just need time, talent or money.

Now there's a safety where it should be!!

I've got a G33/40 project in the works that I think would be a perfect candidate for this kind of set up.
We's likes it a lot

I forgot to ask...
Doe's anyone know where I can buy a Canjar Trigger with the Tang Safety for a Mauser ??

Hit-em the tang part of that set up was custom built. The machining part is easy. The difficult part lies in the precision welding of the custom tang to the receiver tang & not ruining both..

Yes, I guess I wasn't clear. That is all a hand-made one of a kind. The safety is an adaptation of an off-the-shelf side safety that has the button coming up beside the action like Brnos or Remington 700s. In addition to welding the tang the lever, the tang button and linkage on this one were made by hand.

The only thing missing is a bling action screw hole.

And then you have to inlet the stock for the extended tang and safety linkage.$$$

Canjar makes the complete tang safety (extension, link, button) on request (I have one on my Mark-X) this one looks like the smith welded the Canjar (or a copy of it) extension onto the receiver tang.

What is going on with the bolt-stop release? Is that a normal configuration for the 1909? In the second photo down, what is the piece with the screw that faces the camera? How about the checkered piece to the rear, how does that work and what does it do?

Thanks!

No that isn't normal for the 1909. The lever has been smoothed in the front. As to the button. Look in the first picture. That is now the bolt release button. You push in on the button vs pull out on the lever.

That's what I love about AR. Thanks for that, tailgunner. I may have to get one now.

If you're refering to the screw up high that is the typical Redfield ring screw for the rear scope ring.

Ohhh, very cool!

After taking another three looks, I now see that what I thought was something on top of the release is actually the scope mount on the bridge.

Tiggertate, I must have heard you before you posted!

I saw a trigger safety combo like that on ebay one time. The seller said it was made by Timney and eas a stock item at one time. It wasn't welded like this one. I thought it a neat idea. When the trigger/ safety hit about $160 I decided it wasn't that cool after all

I like it, kinda different. I'd like to wack that bolt handle off and try again though. Does it come with a stock?

TC1,

You mean this one?



This is on that growing list of projects I plan on getting around to sooner or later.

Tex

That's it! Got an extra one you could spare?

Terry

No. It's a 270 barreled action for $2500. The barrel is a Paul Marquart in Model 70 featherweight contour. Actually $2500 is pretty reasonable for the amount and quality of the work but unless I new the whole history I'd be a little shy. Don't know the whole story but my guess is the barreled action is probably 35-45 years old.

I believe that bolt release is an aftermarket one made by Billingsley and Brownell.

TC1, all I have are the auction pictures for use a reference if I try make one of these. I agree totally with your above statement. Once I realized that all that is is a Timney side-safety trigger with a connector bar and slide mechanism I stopped bidding. Either of us can build one for a lot less that $160!

Tailgunner whatz da price on da Canjar unit?

D Humbarger
I believe it was $20 more than the standard hunting trigger, and I think I paid a total of $75 shipped. Of course that was back in 76 (Damn I'm showing my age, again)
IOW I don't remember the exact price.
