Buchel Meister Single Shot Schuetzen Rifle

Full octagon barrel with ramp front sight bead absent and a smooth top flat with an integral quarter rib. Sling swivel on the bottom flat and the bottom flat under the forearm is marked with an "FS" in an oval, "B1.G./11 gr.", crown "B"."U" and "G", "7.6 m/m/46/5.25/222/Sch", "6" "WITTEN" and "SI". The inside of the forearm is stamped "3486". The upper right side of the action is marked with crown over "N", "B" and "U" proofs and directly behind the breechblock is marked "BUCHEL/ORIGINAL/MEISTER". Standard late model (1925) casehardened Meister action, tang sight absent, removable double set trigger tang assembly. The front (firing trigger) has the traditional re-curve. Checkered horn insert in the operating lever marked "D.R.G.M./BUCHEL", with the optional latch assembly. Mounted with a smooth forearm, secured by a single wedge and checkered Tyrolean style stock with thumb rest, iron single prong buttplate and sling swivel. Missing the sling swivel. Schnabel style forearm with wedge key.

ConditionVery good. The barrel retains 60% thinning blue finish with some smooth brown patina, edge wear and some minor spotting. The action retains 75% of the original case colors with some fading to brown, and the lever and buttplate are a mix of original case colors and smooth dark brown patina. The wood is good overall. The thumb rest has been repaired, and there are a couple of couple of small minor cracks and a couple gouges on the forearm at the action and a few minor cracks on the wrist and the left side at the action. Overall there are some scattered minor nicks and scratches, and the checkering is crisp. The markings are clear. The Meister action is fine, and considered one the best German falling block actions.
