Hi Folks,
trying to identify what i believe is a possible custom Adolph rifle. This gun has been handed down in the family. It originates from the Adirondack NY area. Family story is said that this rifle was a custom prize that was one in a shooting competition (Fair). This is a bolt action Mauser rifle. The bolt has engraved what i believe is the serial number 4517. on the barrel is stamped "Germany". There is also and engraving on the barrel that reads " The Adolph Mauser 250 / 3000 Savage". I believe this rifle is a custom rifle fitted with a bolt action mauser chambered in a 250 / 3000 Savage. The rifle has classic stock Adolph carvings. The barrel and double trigger area has classic engravings as well (animals). Also has a scope. Curious if anybody can identify this rifle s/n or possible history behind it?
