Welcome, and congrats on retirement! Saaaay, I couldn't help but notice that rifle has two triggers. Is that like an "are you sure?" thing?

Thats a 1950 Joh. Springer Mauser 6.5X57 ... Long history on that rifle (I retired 12 yrs. ago 😎
 
Greetings and welcome to the coolest hangout for know-it-alls. Just kidding.
Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to jump in on the conversations. We might growl a bit, but we don't bite.
Well, maybe Rellgar will. lol.

Love the rifle! I shoot black powder weapons. Gotta love a set trigger. Wish my AK had one.
Hmmm. I might need to tinker with that idea now.
 
Welcome aboard. Glad to see you're not another youngster showing up and telling us how we're doing everything wrong. The inside front of the trigger guard, that little piece pushes for reloading & the plate swings down & forward with a odd zigzag spring? If so, I was playing with one like it (no double trigger) just the other day. The mechanism was just odd to me, but I suppose we all get used to what we use.

I hope you're prepared, there isn't much time I fear to be just starting.

I think all the Mausers are like that but many don't have the bump, my Mausers do not. It's a little bit awkward to push it without the bump. I think you are supposed to use the tip of a FMJ bullet to push it. With just my fingers, I have to start it from the inside then grab it on the outside and pull out.

Button on the trigger guard is for unloading. Mine was built by Joh. Spinger .... The story is , after WWII Springer started making custom Mausers for our service members.. I actualy met Ottoo
