Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles New forum time??? Mauser

Correct, if it was manufactured 1898, or before.
Tons of 98's and 96's were produced after 1898 so they would still need to go ffl.
You'd have to be able to verify production date.
We're speaking of Mauser in general.
If the Loewe's can be documented as not being produced after January 1, 1899 then the statement holds true.

Yeah, I think one Mauser forum would suffice for both .mil and .com.

I own four Zastavas myself.

It HAS changed a lot, even since I registered there about 2010 or so but there are some good guys over there. Some are here too. Sign up and help bring it to life!

Seen a 1891 Argentine mauser carbine 7.65 x53 yesterday at a shop in Ashland city on the way to the range to go shoot my AK.

bubbafied custom job.
17 or 18 inch barrel
Nice piece of black walnut for stock.
Definatley needed recontouring and refinish.
But had alot of bedding around the action to make it stable.
All the markings were intact.
No pitted metal.
Thought the built in bolt release half mooned into the rear bridge was cool. Never seen one like that.
Internal straight 5rd mag.
Kinda thought graphite black cerracoat all metal
Had a flip up sliding sight needed to be tensioned up.
Triangle post front sight.
Missing the screw on ear guard for front sight.
Bore was strong, clean and crisp.
175 bucks....
Thinking I can offer 150 to 175 otd

Kinda imagined it as a project gun.
Ammo at SGammo under 20 a box.

Did some web research on accuracy.
3 to 6 inch groups in carbine,s

Kinda a big negative

Was kinda imaging it as a project along Remington model 7 lines.



I dunno
Still contemplating it
Kinda unique to have.
But reveiws on accuracy leave alot to be desired.

I think we already have that, but it focuses on semi-auto military rifles. A bolt action military rifle forum would include all the various Mauser military rifles, Enfields, Krag–Jørgensens, Springfield 03, etc., etc..

I got one them old Mauser rifles




Sadly some old bubba named Westley Richards hacked it up

The Mauser 98, huh? Sir, do you have the temerity, to ignore the classic, the great, the unsurpassable, Mauser 96 made in Carl Gustafs Stads?

Du Schweinehund!

I like it. I have one like that, too. Professionally done back when companies were doing it right, like that one.

The Swedish Mauser. Those are very nice. 6.5mm, right?

Slumlords 6.5x55 swedish mauser
I need ta get jiggy with it and get it done.

The latest....

It's too bad some IDIOTS tried to hijack the thread. Oh well, such is life on the internet.

To answer the OP's question, hell yes, I'm all in favor of a strictly Mauser forum. My favorite form of rifle.

On the positive side.....
They kept it bumped up.....

While the 96 may be a princess..... The 98 is the queen 👑👸👑 long live the Queen!!🐝

Another vote for a Mauser forum.

Put it next to the "Africa" forum or next to the "Custom Rifles & Wildcats" forum.

Well, with all of the positives.......do we get the forum ?

Is that a Swede, or a M98? I think it is the 8mm, if so, damn! You have an M98 made in 1898, which makes it an antique. I have never seen one.

No , not a Swede and not a 8mm.
It's a M98 in 7x57 , or as Westley Richards marked it " For 275 Mauser Cartridge "

It's got all the German marks on it , plus not to be outdone the Brits put their marks on it too.

It even has 2 serial numbers , the German one is 6XX and the Brit/Westley Richards is 33XXX

Info/value has been hard for me to find , even with the interweb.

I'm a Mauser grabber, but I think that we've got enough Mauser "action" just in the discussion boards we have. Putting it in the Campfire gives broad cover, or in customs, so people who wouldn't go straight to a Mauser list get a glimpse of greatness once in a while.

An M98 in 7x57. I never heard of it. Too bad that jewel got bubba'ed.
