Guys, I was reading "The Illustrated History of Weaponry" by Chuck Wills.
On page 210 is an example of a converted mauser for sniping, hunting sights, set trigger, etc..
My friend just returned from Germany, he knows one of the Heinz sons who inherited the Waffen Heinz business. He gave me this mauser last week. It is an original from the father. They say that each one is hand decorated and different in it's own way. This one was returned in the 90's by an old lady when her husband died. She was afraid to keep it because of German gun laws so she brought it in. My friend ended up getting it after much bartering.
It was probably a favorite hunting rifle.
I wanted to share it with you guys...
