Parker Hale Mauser!

Elk creek

So I was minding my own business while at my LGS and the manager said “make you a deal.” Ok what and how much? He said “that Mauser for $150.”  Done, put it in the back room. Then I had to find out what there was to be known about a Parker Hale Safari 30-06 Mauser with a detachable box mag. The bore cleaned up to a nice mirror bright! They seem to be a quality rig. Hell, you can’t buy a used 1022 for $150! The only small issue is the bolt stop/release spring is broken. It is in 2 peices. I managed to put the internal leg of the spring into the grove and get it to work. I also put the outer spring in place so it keeps the release on the receiver. I may have to change it. I’m also thinking about a receiver sight and not scoping this rifle. I have plenty of other scopes rifles I like the way this one feels without a scope. Thoughts?

The stop is working now, but for how long.....

Shush, this rifle is begging to go stalking!

I found this little gem. My rifle has the original sling too!

There is a weaver k4 with a German post retical on a consignment gun there that they just won’t let me have the scope off of! You believe that! The nerve....🤣

I am a professional loiterer at my LGS. It could have been his way of getting me out of there. 🤣😂

It is sad that these old beauties are sold for fractions of their worth and these fantastic plastic 6.5’s are selling as fast as they can get them.

Well seeing it hasn't been suggested yet: buy the consignment gun and swap the scope.

BTW Great find

🤣he thinks I’m a Rockefeller!😆😂

its on a custom Mauser 22-250 possible built before Remington made it a legit cartridge. A cool gun it it’s own right. Not in the cards  right now though.......THANKS

I am starting to hate this thread. My jealousy is getting the best of me. 

YOU SUCK!

GREAT find!! It's a MAUSER!! Bolt stop/ejector is an easy find and replacement. I like the idea of the peep sight and LOSE the white line spacers!!

You learned well, Grasshopper!

Thanks, master!  That is the first order of business, rip out the fugly spacers!

You should be arrested for grand theft!
Seriously, that is one HUGE bargain on a very nice rifle. The bolt stop is an inexpensive part that can be bought from Numrich Gun Parts; shipping will be more than what the part costs.

This would be awesome!

earlyagain

That is a good looking sight.

BigAL, Weatherby, Be warned, it appears you have some SERIOUS competition

SWEET STEAL!!!!!

YOU DEFINITELY suck for this one

Elk creek
