Don’t you just love finding those little nuggets. I found a real rare Sako 22 rimfire on Gunsinternational. I had never seen or heard of one till this one was listed. Like you I did some research on it found out they were really scarce and the price was unbelievably right. Mine isn’t nearly as nice to look at as that Mauser, but it’s probably more rare and will actually hit where you’re aiming. it does pay to keep your eyes peeled for these once in a while, rare finds. It is the beauty on the far right…

Excellent find. There is a whole lot to love about those ol' Mauser 22lr's. Yours looks to be in excellent shape. Have you shot it yet?

Nice find Shrapnel. I do love me some Sakos. That looks like a cool little rifle.

The Mauser Mm 410b was Mausers' answer to the 52Win. Mauser hoped to win at the olympics?
I am not gonna pull my Speed book out to research.
The wood on yours is pretty nice.
Mine shoots pretty well.
Nice find.

That’s a beauty backtobethel! A rare bird indeed and highly sought after by Mauser aficionados - I have one that was customized in 1949 for a US soldier by Johann Springer - was given to me by a friend in his will. When I go it’ll go to someone that can appreciate it…….have killed many a squirrel with it - fine rifles indeed.
Shrapnel - another cool one that I’ve never seen either - how does it shoot?

Good score, that one is a beauty. Just out of curiosity, would you be able to find a spare magazine if you needed one?

The 350s (Es and Ms) are amongst my favorite off-hand rifles they balance nicely for me and their accuracy is second to none! …..and as the others have said MAS45 magazines work well in the Mm410s.

Very cool old rifle. Looks a lot like a Brno, CZ455 trainer rifle that is for sale locally for $360.00. I've thought about buying it many times. Congrats on the beautiful find.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have a MM410B that I bought with a known issue. Somewhere down through its life, someone replaced the repeater bolt with a single shot bolt and made a custom (i.e. possibly homemade) single shot adaptor for it. Otherwise, it's in a very nice condition. It shoots really nicely as it is, but I'd sure love to find a correct repeater bolt for it. I'm sure the bolt will cost a pretty penny if I ever run across that needle in the hay stack.

Nice looking rifles in this post. y'all should be proud to own something that was made with quality, not many made that way today.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Need to find a taller front sight insert as I had the rear sight down all the way. Here is the first group I shot after getting the windage adjusted. At 30 yards:
