Hart barrel on it that is both sweet looking and shooting. How do I determine exactly what the action is?
I don’t know many details on mine. An old friend of mine did some gun work for his old army buddy. In return the guy gave my friend 4 Mauser barreled actions. I helped my friend with some of that work and he gave me the 220 swift one. I do know that the man was a machinist and did the barrel work, bolt handles, and drilling/tapping for scope mount himself, and the other three rifles all shot very well. If I remember correctly, I believe the barrel is a Douglas. It is all parkerized and has a new magnum sporter contour barrel. I bought a Dayton traister trigger for it and then never did anything with it. Next time I am at my mothers house, I will check it out and see what else I can tell about it, probably just the action make and year of manufacture.
