Has anyone heard of this maker? I have an interesting Mauser dangerous game gun in 11.2 x 72 Schuler built by them. What is the Stogos/Schuler connection? This gun really reminds me a .500 Schuler I had in my shop in the past. Both single stack magazines, extra depth added through a block mounted on the bottom of the action. The .500 had a spring which aided in the cartridge retention while feeding out of the box, this gun does not. The client is still looking for the bolt.

SKB,
The rim diameter of the 11.2x70 is about .468"(rebated head), maybe the client is overlooking the bolt, thinking it would have the bolt face opened up. If he can't find it, maybe you could fit a normal 98 bolt ( or mag. if long action). Off the top of my head, I don't know whose mark "Stogos" is.

Mike

Mike,
I believe you are correct in that the bolt face is a standard 8x57 bolt face and another bolt could likely be fit very easily. He is going to keep looking before I do any work on it. Thanks for the input.

Steve,
In the meantime I have been informed by a knowledgeable member that the name comes from "Stoltz & Goessl", but there is some confusion over their given names. He has a double rifle marked "Stogus" and asked that you post a photo of the company name/logo, so he can compare them.

I believe it was Johann Stotz and Leopold Goessl and Stotz became the sole proprietor and fell on hard times or the like by 1930 and the concern was absorbed by another maker. So acronym or trademark began as STOGOS AND morphed into STOGUS.

By the way, the Stotz und Gl concern was established in 1923.

Thanks for the photo.
Raimey,
My source agreed that the name Stogos morphed into Stogus. I think some sources reversed the given names. That they fell into hard times was more or less confirmed, also, but this wouldn't be unusual at the time.

SKB,
Do you think you could post a photo of the proof marks on the bottom of the barrel?
