9/25/2019 Mauser 22 Rifle For Sale
History of Mauser Paul and Wilhelm Mauser couldn’t possibly have known the impact their simple yet effective turn bolt design would have on the future of firearms. The long and fascinating history of Mauser rifles began with the acceptance of the Model 1871 by the Prussian War department.
It was twenty some years later that the Mauser Military Model 1896, commonly referred to as the Broomhandle Mauser pistol, was introduced. This would also prove to be a highly successful design and just one of many models to follow. Following the development of the Model 98, the Mauser name began to receive worldwide recognition. Turkey, China, Serbia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and numerous South American countries ordered rifles of the Mauser design. The Mauser plant at Oberndorf, which had produced so many of the military weapons used in WW1, was greatly scaled down after the war to approximately 750 workers who were engaged in the production of sporting rifles and pistols.

This may have been the end of the Mauser legacy, if not for the rearmament of Germany in the 1930’s. By 1944, the number of employees at Oberndorf had skyrocketed to an amazing 12,000 people with production being concentrated on the Models 98K, Luger, P-38 and HSC. The Mauser rifle design has inspired some of the most popular firearms in the world. Among those are the M1903 Springfield, Winchester Model 70, M1917 Enfield, Savage Model 110, Remington Model 700, and the Ruger Model 77. To this day, after over one hundred-twenty years, the Mauser rifle is still one of the world’s most popular bolt action rifles.
This is a Mauser ES350B. The ES is two German words I can't pronounce that basically means single shot. It is a bolt action. The B means it has the bolt safety, or tang, or flip-safety that was only available in and after 1935. It is a 350 because of the grooved received and barrel and the sight that is moved along numbered spots for dialing in your distance along with the rear sight. Anyone looking at this probably knows everything I just explained. Some people have mistaked this for sniper training rifles, etc.
They were Mauser's top of the line shooter's 22lr along with the MS350B, which was a repeater. This rifle has matching numbers on barrel, bolt, and stock. The rear sight has its own 3 digit serial numbers on the parts. This particular rifle was ordered with a diopter sight, hence the square mount on top of the grip behind the bolt. I do not have the diopter unfortunately because it would be like winning the lottery twice if I did.
The blueing on the rifle is easily 98% and has not been altered. The stock has been professionally laquered or clear-coated (I'm failing to come up with the exact terms) at some time in the past. It is beautiful and has preserved the tiger striped walnut perfectly. I would compare its look to a mint condition weatherby or colt sauer finish from the 60's. No scratches or use marks on it as this was someone's baby. I have fired it and it shoots 100%.
The bore is bright and shiny and the rifling is incredible. Trigger is perfect and right at just over 2.5lbs. It is adjustable. I wouldn't mess with it though. I have lots of pics of everything and can email them and any that an interested party would want. This rifle is better in person than in the pics and the pics are pretty darn nice.
