Krupp Mauser 7x64mm
Home
I
bought this
Mauser from the Bass Pro Shop in Las Vegas in 2006. I was there to
attend my first Shot Show and the Mandalay Bay Gun and Knife
show. I
saw Tom Seleck and John Milius at the Gun Show . I also met
Detrich Apel and joined the German Gun Collectors Club. He had
Tom Turpin autographing his new book on David Miller
Co.
Rifle Details:
Made by Edgar Kiess in March 1941. Marked 341.
Caliber:
7x64mm
Light English walnut stock with horn buttplate.
Double set triggers
Regular dropout floorplate
Claw Mounts - No Rings :-)
The 25" Octagon Barrel has a low rib and integral
front sight.
Info thanks to Detrich Apel:
Edgar Kiess is a Suhl gunmaker who was in business since 1935 through the end of World War II. He was a small maker who was not well known.

Well here's the (semi)
finished piece. The claw mounts are gone, replaced with square bridge
Talley mounts, a Spoon style bolt handle and 2 position safety.
The bolt was polished.
