VZ-24 JC Mauser Barrel 7mm Mauser Take Off Barrel

Description

This is a VZ-24 barrel in
7mm Mauser
(the best millimeter Mauser!), a fast, flat shooting, and soft recoiling cartridge, great for target shooting and hunting.  While most VZ 24 rifles in the US are in 8mm Mauser, this is a barrel from a Brazilian VZ-24 JC rifle, one of 15,000 contracted around 1930.  The VZ-24 JC was a top of the line Mauser ordered by the Brazilians with some premium features. Part of this was the barrel being a lightweight profile compared to standard profile barrels.  The VZ 24 is a standard large ring 1898 pattern Mauser rifle, and as such, this barrel should fit any number of other 1898 pattern large ring receivers.  The rifling appears to be in good condition, as shown by the photos. The barrel is approximately 23.25 inches in length.  The rear sight collar is quite corroded and damaged, and as such should be replaced if you intent to install iron sights, otherwise it can be removed.  Photos should show all of this.  There is also some pitting on the outside of the barrel that shouldn't be an issue other than looking a little ugly. This item should be evaluated and installed by a competent gunsmith.  No returns, item sold as is, and the buyer accepts all risks associated with the use of this barrel.
