Al Beisen rifle

[mountainman]

Picked up a 25/05 Ackley Beisen built by the old man in 1963 today! Beautiful XXX black walnut built on a hardened 98 Mauser. Will get pics up on Monday for all to see! Kept my eyes out for on in 270 win ever since I was a kid, reading of the exploits of J.O.C. In every mag I could find! But the 25-06 was just too pretty to let pass thru my hands..!

I think I heard that Al died. But a son and a daughter still run the shop up in Spokane. the daughter does engraving and damn is she good! Site is wort a look if you appreciate fine rifles. Might not see many plastic stock's on  it!

Is it a K98 or a FN Commercial? I heard he did more FNs than 98s, same action but without the thumb cut on the opposite side of the action. FNs are worth a lot more $$

by that last photo, it's military.  you can see a hint of thumb cut over the barrel...

That's what I was thinking about the "Thumb cut" , but I'm not expert on Mauser actions.

I have a custom built 25/06 built on a K98 action as well... Don't know much about it other than its one of the best shooting rifles I have ever shot... Ended up getting it on a trade a while back.

But that black walnut is gorgeous... That's an awesome find.

Will try to get some better pics as time allows! Will report on its accuracy this weekend!

should be a good one!  do you know the round count?  shouldn't be too bad judging by the condition, but throat erosion can happen with with hot loads.
