Just digging through my safe and figured its a good day for show and tell. Now Before anyone explodes, this was done in the 1950s when German Mausers were as common as fence posts. It was also done professionally. It was owned by a family friend since it was done originally. It was rebarreled with an aftermarket barrel chambered in .303 British because that at the time was one of the most common choices for ammunition. The bore is pristine. Shoots like a dream and would give any modern sporting rifle a run for its money. On first glance it looks like a .22 rifle because it is so small and light. Best part about it is, the custom barrel has a tighter chamber then the Lee Enfield so it is easier on brass. The Bolt handle and safety is aftermarket as well as the stock. The only thing that is original is the receiver, trigger, trigger guard and magazine floor plate. I enjoy it for what it is. It would be nicer if it was still original but in this way it tells more stories about the original owner who brought down many deer with it. I normally cringe at bubba rifles but this one was done so well it is hard to tell it was originally a Mauser.
