TYPE B SPORTERS

This was the most popular Mauser sporter, and the most widely used in Europe. It was made on the first four action sizes and in most calibres. Sixteen standard factory variations were offered with at least three barrel forms in lengths from 22-28 inches and many sight options. Stock style was European; early pre-WWI stacks have rounded pistol grips and a few had raised side panels over the magazine and trigger mechanism area. More Type B rifles were taken out of Germany as war booty by Allied forces after WWII than were ever exported. The rarest is the magnum length in 8x75, and also in 9,3x64 Brenneke. Only a few Type B sporters were made in 6,5x68 and the Sx6Ss (RWS) after 1939. Type B sporters were made through to the end of WWII.  *Taken from linked article below
