Interarms Mark 10 270 Win.
« on: February 21, 2007, 02:59:46 AM »
Picked one up a short time ago. Needs a new stock and some cleaning up. I was wondering if it would be worth the $ and effort. Someone mentioned about it being a Whitworth or not. I have no clue on what to look for. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.  ???

Mark X  (latin for 10, but always "X" in print I have seen)... were made in Yugoslavia by their state industries. Started back before WW II and made rifles for the NAZIS of WW II. Then did a sporter version. Herter's imported them as XK something, then later the J9.  De Haas seemed to think the Herter guns were built on factory 2nd actions... (U9's were BSA --Birmingham Small Arms, England). And a reduced version "mini Mark X" for .223 family.  I think Remington is now handling them--both. It is a basic commercial copy (no thumb slot) of the 98 Mauser made after WW II and and drilled and tapped for scope and  pretty good shooting iron. Never heard of one with target accuracy, but for a "hunting rifle," no problems. Whitworth was a "version" /model by Interarms. Plainer wood? Different wood. I didn't pay that close attention.

So if you want to clean up and rebuild, for value, look at used values of the Mark X, Interarms; J9 Herters; or the current Remington import. Most parts should interchange. Most stocks for the WW II on 98 Mauser should be "fittable." I would guess you have a "sporter" barrel channel. Metal work, obvious. Any metal smith. Scope mounts, since Interarms is out of business, any factory should have something that fits, but not necessarily stocked by Midway, et al. luck, enjoy...

   The first high powered rifle I bought ( used ) back in the late 70's, was an Interarms Mark X, in .243Win. That thing shot great. I got it off a guy who thought he needed something bigger for deer. I would still have it if it hadn't been so heavy. But none the less, my experience is that they are great guns.
I carry a single shot.
'cause it only takes one shot.
