Other info:
This is a very rare German single shot bolt action target rifle from the mid 1930s. This one has the gas hole on the right side, which is even more rare (according to Jon Speeds book "Mauser Smallbores Book Sporting, Target & Training Rifles"). This Mauser is the earlier variant of the 340B. It shares several characteristics with the K98. It has a similar rear sight, which is fully adjustable for windeage and elevation and is very sturdy. The bolt is a small version of the K98 bolt with a three position safety.
This rifle has a 27" barrel and is quite heavy. It has zero recoil, helping with accuracy, which is great. The trigger is also excellent. So is the bore.
The bolt is numbers matching with the receiver and the barrel. Everything appear to be original except for the front sight hood and the stock appears to have been refinished, as it no longer shows the Mauser logo on the right side.
I have no box or paperwork and I don't know the round count. I am not the original owner, so I don't know how many prior owners this rifle has had. It does not have any kind of import marks. I am only selling this, because I have a second one with untouched stock.
PPT in Santa Rosa, Petaluma or maybe Napa. I also can ship it to your FFL for $45. I am not interested in trades or in travel. No offers please.
The gun is listed on one other forum. If there are takers on both forums, the timestamp of the "I'll take it PM wins"
