"There isn't really a great deal to say about it. Everybody found it so generally satisfactory that there wasn't anything to start a discussion." - John Taylor in "African Rifles and Cartridges"

Have always been fascinated by the 9.3x62 and wanted a rifle that would do justice to the German heritage and nostalgia of this old classic ammo.
How about this one? Heinrich Barella (http://www.damascus-barrels.com/German_ ... rella.html) Mauser 9.3x62, half octagonal/round barrel, full length rib. The rib is not soldered on but the barrel and rib is machined from a single block of steel.
Barella also had some Indian connection. Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala was a customer. Some archive pictures of his visit to Barella facility and a hunt arranged for him (courtesy http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showthre ... ber=208106).
