A guy I know was gifted this rifle a few years ago and has had it setting on a mantel. From the pictures you can see it is getting rusty in some places which is a shame as this gun is a piece of firearm history. He was told it is a 22 Wasp made in 1941, I have tried to verify this but information on these rifles is pretty scarce. I offered to buy it but he said it wasn't for sale, I would love to own it and take it to the range. The rifle must weigh 25 - 30 lbs. It is based on a sleeved 98 Mauser action. It has a set trigger with a pull of around 2-3 Oz.
Edited: I believe they guy was mistaken on the year of the rifle, my limited searching on these gunsmiths indicates they were active in the 50's and 60's. The serial number is either 160 or 168, it was very hard to read, so I would think it is an early one.
