Griffin & Howe .270 Win. Mauser 1950

Griffin & Howe, commercial Mauser action in .270 Winchester. This rifle, Number 2041, was sold by Abercrombie & Fitch in 1950. Research letter from G&H. Somewhere in its past the barrel was shortened to 22 inches and front sight removed along with Lyman and G&H scope mount, probably to lighten the rifle for mountain hunting. Weight about 6.5 pounds. Areas where rear sights were mounted have been stippled with panels to match original front receiver - very professionally done. I believe receiver metal was then refinished and remains 100%. Original stock finish also redone in matte oil finish. Stock LOP 13 5/8 inches. Stock is in excellent condition as refinished with some loss of checkering borders and two 1/4 inch checks behind receiver tang that should be easily dealt with. Mortise where G&H scope was mounted has been filled. Receiver has Redfield one piece scope base with rings. Jaeger adjustable trigger. Two panel checkered bolt. This is a high quality rifle that can be hunted without worrying about hurting collector values and priced accordingly. Anything I sell has a three business day inspection/right of return for any reason, less shipping and insurance costs.
