Modified Steyr Model 1871 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle, #3150K, 11.15x60Rmm cal., 29" barrel, blued finish with bright receiver and bolt assembly, hardwood stock, dovetailed inverted-"V" front sight, and folding leaf rear sight with "V"-notched groove, adjustable to 1250 meters. Includes a steel cleaning rod and brown leather sling. Sling is in very good used condition. Rifle has been modified by shortening the barrel and forend. The nose cap screw is missing and the nose cap slides forward. Top of the barrel shank marked "OESTERR.WAFFFB.GFS." and the left side with "(crown)FW". Left side of the receiver is marked "B.Mod.71" and the right side is dated "1875". There are crowned inspection stamps on the right side of the receiver and barrel shank. Matching visible numbers. Condition overall is very good as modified, retaining approx. 85% thinning and toning blue, with wear and scratches to the barrel bands, which fit poorly. Receiver and bolt assembly have been cleaned and polished, now showing old patina to the bolt body. There are two repairs to the buttstock forward of the buttplate, spliced repair to the comb, and a glue repaired separation at the toe. Wood has been sanded and stained and shows light to moderate handling marks. Action operates smoothly but the safety is not functioning and needs to be repaired. Bore is bright with very good defined rifling. Est.: $400-$600. (Antique)
