Mauser Wrench

Maestro · 12-11-2013, 01:06 AM

are these related to Lugers at all?

alvin · 12-11-2013, 03:27 AM

Looks like generic tool.

Vlim · 12-11-2013, 05:40 AM

Nope.

Mauser has had a subsidiary that produced (and still produces) tools and measuring equipment.

No, I'm almost sure that those tools belonged to Mauser subsidiary productions.

I'm pretty sure that is one of the tools that Bubba uses to 'sporterize' his Mauser rifles...

Pitting, rust, very little bluing, a shooter at best.

First use of the spiral toggle action?

...just kidding for you Newbies...

I could be mistaken, but it looks as if the finger adjuster [the spiral] has a quick-disconnect lever...To run the jaws open without using the spiral...I don't think any Yankee Crescent-style wrench has this...has anyone else seen anything like this???

No but it looks like an excellent idea. Bill

None of that talk makes them gun related. IMHO

I think that lever may lock the spiral so the adjustment size of the wrench jaw doesn't move... also an excellent idea... and no, i have not ever seen a wrench like that before, but I have seen other Mauser tools.

At first glance, it looks like a Crescent wrench...but totally different...

It's like someone looked at a Vernier and said "Wow...That would be a good design for an adjustable wrench!"...

I believe you're right... seems like the screw assembly will pivot around the pin showing on the side, possibly spring loaded as well.
