damn nice

Nice rifles sir. Thank you for the pictures.

Swedish M96...from 1909

That model 96 brings back memories! I really screwed up one of those back in the 60's. Back then they were cheap and a Winchester or Remington wasn't. So it was what a teenager got to try and make a hunting rifle out of. I paid less than $25 for it, if I remember right.

That went on right up to the 1990's. I bought a bunch back then for $70-80. I took the nicest one, a minty German first year, all matching numbers, and butchered it to make a "hunting" rifle. Still have it, looks like a gun from the original Planet of the Apes.

They were beautifully finished rifles.

I did the same thing. I have a Chilean 98 Mauser that is now a 6.5X55, that after a ton of money, time, and TLC is now a really nice rifle that shoots great. I will say that it was in only fairly good shape when I started, with a barrel that only had hints of rifling left. That one turned out well only because of professional help. Some others didn't turn out very well at all.
Sad to say that I don't own an original condition Mauser, unless you consider a commercial Mauser action rifle like a Husqvqana. That is something I might have to rectify.

K98k Steyr from 1942. All matched, perfect bore. Badge is a German Infantry Assault Badge, comparable to a US Combat Infantryman's Badge.

That's a looker!

A VZ24. Only thing I've done to it is put a taller front sight on it so it zeros @ 100.

Tyrone, I wish I could get a repalcement blade front sight for the 1935. It shoots great but the sights on both of my rifles are impossible to see in poor light, which is when most of the deer around here are out and about. I would love to put a gold bead front sight on it and not mess up the original sight. On a 1935 chilean the sight drifts in from the front at an angle. not many of that type around that I can find.

My blade was made by a machinist buddy.

I have that capability. Just havent had the time. Now that i'm deaing with this virus thing and keeping my distance from people, I just might go to the shop and make myself one. I sure would like to take it hunting.

Here's my 1900 Oberndorf 96/38. Owned it for around 35 years. [img]https://imgur.com/MEImjr0[/img]

Wow! Great looking rifles! Walthers?

Yep. A 7x57 on the left and an 8x57 on the right. Purchased when I lived in Calgary.

why do these not display as images???

I've got hundreds of mauser pictures, just hard to find them searching

these are from CMP Western Games 2012, I was holding the camera, so I'm not the one shooting this Swedish Mauser

I guess you just have to click on them to see them, can anyone tell me the trick to attaching an image that already is on a website? we used to be able to just click the little "insert image link" icon and it pops up a window, enter the URL and click OK. Now it inserts a link rather than an image.

I had a pair of Argentine Calvary Carbines, an 1891 and a 1909, both with all matching numbers. The 1909 was of course the most desirable, but the little 1891 one was the coolest looking. They're something I wish I had back.
