Specifications for a Mauser DBP1205423 Barrel

Mauser was a German arms company, famous for creating bolt-action rifles as well as pistols up until 1995. A Mauser DBP, with a serial number of 1205423, refers to a JBC-52 Mauser 60, used in the late 1800s as an infantry weapon for German soldiers. This particular weapon came with three barrels instead of the standard one barrel.
  1. 7 SE v. Hofe

    • One barrel that this Mauser 60 comes with is the 7 SE v. Hofe. The name refers to the specific caliber of the barrel and can be measured at 26 3/8 inches in length. The 7 SE v. Hofe barrel is the longest of the three barrels, making it designed for accuracy and precision while on the battle field. The Mauser 60 comes with a custom case that can securely house the 7 SE v. Hofe as well as the other three barrels.

    .243 Winchester Barrel

    • The .243 Winchester barrel is one of the three Mauser barrels designed with a high twist rate due to the relative low velocity with which a bullet came out of this barrel. The lower the velocity of the bullet, the higher the twist rate on the barrel was made to be. A .243 Winchester barrel is designed with a twist rate of one in 10. This implies that every 10 inches, the bullet performs a full twist.

    5.6x57 Caliber Barrel

    • A 5.6x57 caliber barrel is the third and final Mauser barrel that comes with the DBP1205423. This barrel measures in at 24 1/4 inches, making it several inches shorter than the 7 SE v. Hofe. This barrel was primarily used for close range targets, relying on proximity and a high velocity rate to take down a potential enemy or threat.

    Scopes

    • To complement the barrels, this weapon also comes with several scopes, utilized to help pinpoint an exact target and take it down with a high level of accuracy. The Mauser 60 comes with a Carl Zeiss 6x42 scope as well as a 1.5x6 power scope, both of which fit securely onto the European-style claw mounts that this weapon has crafted onto it. The scopes are often paired with the 7 SE v. Hofe because of its higher accuracy levels.
