doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DIY Gunsmithing @ doublegunshop.com Odd Claw Mount Rear Base

Below is a diagram of the rear base on a snap-action drilling I acquired last week. I have never seen this type base before. I am guessing the latching mechanism is in the ring. NECG responded immediately to my inquiry but don't have the ring or know where to get one. I have fabricated rings for claw mounts before but I need something to go by.

Does anyone have a picture of the ring type or can point me towards one?

Thanks,

It is the rear base of a Triebel'sche Einhakmontage.

I have pictures now.

Thanks.

Resurrecting an older thread in hopes of help learning more about the mounts used on the German double rifle I just acquired. I understand it also has Triebel mounts. The rifle was recently purchased off of Gunbroker. I'll start a thread on it here soon. (auction pics on GB are not around for long but are still up now at https://www.gunbroker.com/item/967656345)

Dave - do you have information you can share on how you solved your need for mounts?

Beautiful rifle. Have you determined the cartridge it fires?

Both Ernst Apel Wuerzburg (EAW) and Recknagel (ERA) have provisions to convert Claw Mounts to Swing Mounts. These provisions are adaptable to your Triebel mounts as well as the classical Shuler claw mounts. New England Custom Guns deals in one or both these company's products.

Thank you Remington40x. I really like the workmanship on the rifle. It has some neat details like single set triggers for both barrels, and a cartridge trap on the top of the comb with a leather lined lid to silence the rounds within.

I am nearly certain it fires 9.3x72r based on a number of factors. First, it is marked as 118.35 gauge, which equates to a bore (not groove diameter) of 0.340 - 0.350". Chambers are straight walled and It is nitro proofed for the powder charge used for 9.3x72r and finally a 360 BPE case exactly fits the rim cutout. The 360 round is basically a 2 1/4" version of the longer 72mm German round.

I will cast it before firing, but I was confident enough to order ammo, which is still made by S&B.

That's about all I know so far. The barrel markings are for a retailer, not maker.

Chris

A few pics below.

I appreciate the input. I suspect I'll end up pursuing this route. Right now I'm still a bit tied to the idea of making the old mounts work although I know that will require making at least the rear mount.

Chris:

Makes sense. You should have a good time playing with that rifle. I'd take it deer hunting in upstate Pennsylvania in a heartbeat.

One warning, from personal experience: Don't inadvertently set both triggers at the same time and fire the rifle. I did that (once) with a .250-3000 guild gun (clamshell action) I owned. Fortunately, the cartridge was mild enough that neither the rifle nor I was damaged.
