Rare Model 1871 MAUSER Pattern SPORTERIZED Single Shot DOUBLE TRIGGER Rifle

First Rifle Manufactured by PAUL & WILHELM MAUSER

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Model 1871 Mauser Pattern Sporterized German Rifle, made circa the turn of the century in Germany. Originally designed as a military weapon, the Mauser Model 1871 was later modified for civilian use, especially for hunting and sport shooting. This sporterized version, often featuring a double set trigger, represents an important step in the adaptation of military rifles for commercial markets, particularly in Europe.

The Mauser M1871, also known as the Gewehr 71 or Infanterie-Gewehr 71, was the first bolt-action rifle designed and produced by the Mauser brothers, Paul and Wilhelm Mauser, and was officially adopted by the German Empire in 1871.

One of the key features of many sporterized Mauser rifles, including the M1871 sporter versions, was the addition of a double set trigger mechanism, as is this example. This mechanism was highly desirable for hunting and target shooting as it allowed for both a normal trigger pull and an extremely light, precise trigger pull for more accurate shooting.

The overall condition is very good. Original gray patina. Strong action. The bore is bright with crisp rifling. Solid stock, with average handling wear and a crack on the left side near the buttplate. Sharp wrist checkering. Markings are legible. Sling swivel rings are absent.
