Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Interarms bought 98 Mauser actions and bbl'd actions (Mark X) from Yugoslavia. Whitworth Rifle Co. in Manchester, England also bought actions from the same Yugo factory. Whitworth took the actions and final finished them to better specs and then bbl'd them to several calibers. Most seen are the 375 and 458, but they did everything from 22-250, 30-06, 7mm ect.
Some of the Whitworth bbl'd actions were sold back to Interarms where they were stocked generally in Euro Walnut wood, finished and checkered. The stocks were preturned and then fitted and finished by Interarms or farmed out for the job. Several different variations were offered in the 'Whitworth' rifle line. The finished rifles were marked Interarms & Whitworth/Made in England. There were also actions available from both Whitworth and Interarms. They were all the same action from Yugosalvia.
BBL'd actions also were sold, same deal.
-Interarms marked "Mark X"
-Whitworth Rifle Co/Manchester England
-Interarms/Whitworth/Made in England.
Then there's always the possibility of someone stripping a sporter and using the action to build their dream rifle which of course gets sold later 'cause it never does what's expected of it. The Whitworth barreled in England bbl'd actions will show Brit proof marks on both the action and the bbl. Yugo maker marks below the wood line usually still exist. Interarms bbl'd Whitworth Rifle Co worked over Yugo actions(only) may show Brit proofs on the action and none on the bbl (as it was bbl'd in the USA). Any custom build or action from a stripped rifle may be devoid of any proofs, makers marks, ect from a refinish either purposely or not.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
