The second rifle I ended up with in a horse trade was a sportized Mauser. ON the bridge it had the Mauser emblem, so it is not a military production rifle.

On the side it has printed, Standard Modell ( two Ls) with a serial number of B 48200 range. It has a bolt and safety set for a scope mount, and an after market trigger installed.

It also had a very nice Fajen Walnut stock, made for a Lefty. It was drilled and taped for scope mounts also.

I was told that this was a pre WW 2 commercial model. I however have my doubts and think it is more like a post WW 2 model, possibly made in the 1950s to 1970s.

If any of you historians or gunsmiths or Mauser nuts can shed some light on this rifle also I would appreciate it. It has what I think is an after market barrel on it. Seems to have a heavy sporter magnum contour to it, is 25 inches long ( so is that European?) and is chambered in a 22/250. No other markings appear on the barrel besides that stamping of 22/250. It is stamped about 11 o'clock on the barrel, about 4 to 5 inches from the lug.

Thanks for every one's help identifying what I have.

Cheers and Good shooting

PS, One other thing they had that I put on lay away was a 1932 Model 54 Winchester chambered in " 30 Government" on the barrel and a 1932 Zeiss scope with a post and cross hair reticle. What kind of price range is this worth, the rifle is clean, and has wear, but is in good shape for a 1932 used rifle. I am sure it was probably used a lot until the mid 1960s or so and has been sitting in some local closet until someone died and the wife brought it down to sell.

Thanks again.

The Standard Modell was made between the wars as an export item. It is of a millitary configuration. It was not designed to a particular countries specs., but as an off the rack sort of "standard model".

The standard modell was an 8x57 commercial rifle made in full military configuration form use in German "Camp Perry" style competitions. It was made during the 1930's, and the serial number on the barrel will match the receiver.

Your rifle has been stripped for its action.

There are several models of military mausers made for export that have "Banner" bridges and Crest receiver rings.

RE the Winchester, if it's a 1932, I think it's referred to as an "Improved Sporter". Blue Book (22nd Ed) shows prices ranging from $900 (100%) to $350 (60%). Hope this gives you a ballpark figure.
