My brother in law bought a rifle (30/06) with the words "Coast to Coast " on the barrel. The only other identifying marks I saw were serial numbers on the receiver. It has a Mauser action. We are trying to find the manufacturer. Anyone have any idea's?
Coast to Coast rifles

Hello there. I own one of these Coast-to-Coast 30-06 rifles with the Mauser action. I inherited it from my father over 40 years ago. He told me that these were manufactured by Husqvarna. And although I have no proof of that it seems plausible. It is not exactly pretty but it's been a good shooter. Any addition info would be great and I would love to know what sort of value it may have.

the coast to coast rifles I have seen have had the charging cut out , the place your thumb goes when feeding them with a stripper clip it is a dip on the left side. These are not typically seen on post war Mauser rifles , but were the norm on k98 recivers used in combat.
a lot of these rifles were surrendered at the end of the war ,
the NRA chart for rifles sold as a store name does not list the Coast to Coast model 100.
is it possible Husqavarna rebarreled and stocked these rifles , it is possible , if it was a Huquavarna barrel I would expect a H crown proof marking on the barrel.
there were a bunch of shops buying up surplus mausers and making hunting rifles of them almost exclusively in 30-06
the US was in the process of re-barreling millions of rifles in arsenal rebuilds during and after the war and they almost all had 30-06 in common so the industry was set up to makes 30-06 barrels , it wa sa popular hunting cartridge and amunition was plentiful

The coast to coast model 100 is not in any of the cross reference charts.
they are re-barreled , re-stocked , re-finished Mauser's with the markings removed.
