Local shop owner has a SxS .43 Mauser. I got to play with it years ago when I loaded him up some ammo for it. I don’t recall much, but i do remember it had double, single set triggers. It was pretty nice! I have tried to buy it from him a time or two in more recent years but he’s not letting go of it.

Whoa!! (reply)

Bobby T. had this one for sale but I waffled too long and it had sold when I went back after it. I saved all of his pics to torture myself. Not really DSTs, but there are two triggers...

German double in 43 Mauser made by Scherping.

Check out the folding tang sight. There was a folding front night sight with likely an ivory bead. Looks like customs removed it with an axe, thus saving the whales or something. Yeah, that elephant has been dead for at least 150yrs.

I'm a real sucker for them... (reply)

...I see my habit of appreciating weird and obscure rifles just don't quite hold a candle to some of y'all.

And those DSTs kinda give me the DTs, if you know what I mean.

Nice! I also like DSTs... (reply)

Do I spy two or three pop-up tang sights?

The Germans liked those also.

DST's for AaronB
