Any BRNO and any South American contract Mauser after WWI. The 1909 is nice, yes, and there is a lot of beautiful rifles built on it...but I'm not a big fan of re-heat treating. And you don't really know if your receiver is soft unless you have a way to test it...so why bother, when there are so many good ones out there that were done right from the get go?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
