Have any of you older guys (like me) ever heard of
"Cleveland Custom Gun Shop"? I just recently acquired
an "elephant gun" because it was just too pretty and the
price was too good to pass it up. Anyway, I did my research
and they were in Cleveland, Ohio (of course) from about 1950
until they closed up in 1990. The rifle I got is a .300 Win Mag
(anybody wanna go rhino hunting in Africa?) It appears to have been built
on a 1893 Mauser receiver (with extensive work done), but the bolt
appears to have been made in shop. The stock is a very nice walnut burl.
There is a womans name engraved very small on the barrel.
(I'm guessing she is the customer the rifle was built for) I took it all
apart this morning for a thorough cleaning and it was not very dirty and
appears to not have had many rounds through it.
If anybody can tell me anything about the gun maker, I would
like to know.. and I need to figure out how to post a picture of it here
for you all to see......
Thanks, Mr. Natural
