I think Daryl has a good Idea and we should do a new thread about engravers. If someone will start it I'll pull a Kornbrath flier, scan and post it.
Come on folks I know there are more Adolph shotguns out there, post some pictures ;-).

Michael, what's the chambering on the Adolph Kurz Mauser? 250-3000?

Rob, It's marked "Adolph Mauser Cal. 25" but in reality it's a 6.5x54K an original Mauser chambering. I suspect he also sold the same cartridges as .25 Adolph.

Thanks Michael, didn't I read somewhere that many of the Kurz Mausers were chambered for 250-3000? Have always hoped to find one.
BTW I'm away from home this Christmas and at the last minute I wanted to bring a small book to read, I grabbed your CUSTOM GUNMAKERS, thanks for the enjoyment.
Merry Christmas,
Rob

Many of the Kurz Mausers were chambered for the .250-3000 by both Mauser and custom gunmakers. If I remember correctly this rifle was made before the .250-3000. I'll have to put that on my to-do list, anyone know what year it was introduced?

From Chuck Hawks website....
"The .250 Savage was introduced by Savage in 1915. The cartridge was designed for Savage by Charles Newton. The .250 is a compact and economical cartridge whose modern appearance belies its age.
As originally factory loaded, the .250 Savage drove an 87 grain spitzer bullet to 3000 fps. This is why it was also known as the .250-3000. It was the first standard US cartridge to achieve that muzzle velocity."
I'll confirm it when I get home.

The Adolph Mauser action was made 1912 according to the Mauser serial number. So made before the .250-3000 introduction. I'd like to find an ad for his so called .25 Adolph but so far no luck.

Mike, what kind of oil are you putting on the Adolph Springfield ? Don't want to start another war but RAW linseed oil. Very little oil was used on it when made. This rifle is typical of rifles made with good europen walnut of this period. Like many rifles from this time frame they have bare wood inletting as well. I rub in few drops of oil with my hand then wipe off with a clean rag and let sit for a couple days and redo.
