Picking up on a post years ago by @GreeneHunter, I too inherited a rifle with engraving by "Bennett Gun Works Delmar NY" on the barrel. Also a Mauser action, apparently built by FN 1950s era. Appears to be a custom built or modified rifle and Bennett Gun Works is only lead I have on who might have built or modified it. Anyone with any specific knowledge of this rifle has passed away. Anyone on this forum familiar with Bennett Gun Works enough to possibly tell me anything about my rifle? Perhaps confirm that building custom rifles from Mauser actions (or something along those lines) was a normal activity for them? If so, what reputation they might have had regarding quality workmanship? Thank you in advance.
