  • Description:

    SN VV983 is a Model 1886 Mauser-Kropatschek built by Steyr for Portugal.  This rifle is basically a copy of the 71/84 Mauser rifle. These were originally buit in 8X60 and later in 8 X 58R caliber.  This example shows a bright very good bore with sound rifling.  The bolt is not matching (#P504) as it is very difficult to find a matching bolt.  (The bolts were separated in service as well were shipped separately from the rifles when imported in the late 1960's or early 1970's).  Better than average metal, sound matching stock with sound action.  The wood shows all the original markings and normal usage marks.  This variation was built without a barrel handguard.
