Looking for info on this rifle, only markings on it is "Saint-Hubert" Waseca,Minn. Looks similar to a commercial mauser action, except for the boltstop/ejector, Where the mausers have a axis/pivot screw boss on the side of the receiver, This has none, But has a threaded screw hole approximatly a 1/2" forward of the ejector slot. Everything else seems to be typical long action commercial mauser. Bought this rifle for the right money,But it was missing the boltstop/ejector.

Any help would be appreciated.

    built for heters back in the 1960's (m/l) a good commercial m-98 action with a CHEAP bolt stop/ejector (2 pieces of spring steel), parts are nonexistant. I've converted these to standard m-98 bolt stops by forming a small block of steel to the dimentions of the lug on a std. m-98, threading a hole in it to match the one in the reciever, screwing it to the reciever and silver soldering it in place. then sliting it to take the std. m-98 botl stop/ejector assmbly and drilling a hole for the bolt stop screw.

    I don't know anything specific about the Saint-Hubert rifle. Waseca was the city in MN that was the headquarters of the Herters organization. It would be my guess that your rifle was one of the many products that Herters imported and sold, under there various brand names.

    Jonesy,

    Did you buy chance buy that rifle in Southern Indiana? I sold that exact same rifle to Cosners in Bedford Indiana this past fall. Info I was given when I bought it was that it was a Herters/Interarms inport made in Czechoslovakia by the same people who make CZ today. Never had a problem with it and it was very accurate. I sold mine to fund another project.

    Enjoy.
