mauser

Hello all, its been a moment since I've posted here, but good to be back. I recently acquired this Mauser c96 'Broomhandle' at auction. It was advertised as a "Red 9" however I knew I was taking a risk that it may not be authentic. Im hoping you all may explain to me what a few things mean, as...

I have a 1939 K98K Mauser code 243 and it has matching serial numbers. How are values determined and are the specific marking that collectors are looking for?

Looking for information and value on this Mauser kar98. Appears to have all matching numbers. What unit had it and any help is appreciated! Let me know if you need more information or pictures. Thanks

Can anyone get me any info, or point me to a reliable source on what the actual chamber pressure was in the small ring Mausers? I’ve got one chambered in 250-3000, I’m assuming I’ll be ok if it was 45k or under. I’ve found wildly varying numbers recommended and in various sources about the...

Anybody know what pressures a husqvarna fn98 commercial can handle? Or where I could find that info?

Hi reaching out to any gunsmiths who have worked with the husqvarna fn98 commercial rifles. I have a fn98 commercial rifle in 8x57 but want to rebarrel the action with a heavier caliber. I have a few in mind however I know very little about the older Mauser actions and what they can handle...

I just got my sporterized Mauser torn down. Been able to determine that I have a Mexican 1910 made in 1933. I’m wondering if anyone knows where you can find a composite stock (other than ram line) that fits. I’m hoping to find one with some adjustments as I’m hoping to pass it on to my daughter...

Hey everybody, I recently picked up a Siamese 45/70 rebarrel. She sits in an extra heavy stock that I have already bedded and am refinishing. Receiver and barrel both look excellent except for some thinned bluing but I also plan to rust blue entire thing as well. Anyway my real problem seems to...

I picked up a 1944 DOU k98 Mauser from an auction recently which is all original/matching (including bolt) except for the floor plate. Minor patina/wear but 90-95% bluing remains, and stock is in great shape and has its original finish. Original sight hood and cleaning rod also. I think I...

32 Years ago! (I was 19 yrs old) when I walked out of a Boise, ID gun show with a $115 Sporterized "Spanish" Mauser chambered in .308, I took it to the local gunsmith who outfitted it with a safety kit, drilled and tapped the receiver for a scope, and modified the Bolt. It wasn't until just...

Howdy! I am being offered this 1924 Mexican FN Herstal (Belgium-made) Mauser. However, I need help identifying the precise model and caliber (I suspect it is a 7x57 Mauser). Can I please request your help identifying these variables? Also, how much do you expect this Mauser be worth? P.S. I...

Hello Folks, I Recently bought an Italian made Mauser HSC .380 at a pawn shop. The gun is in mint condition, it would not surprise me if it had never been fired before I bought it. I was told that it was a surplus weapon once owned by an Israeli police organization (which one specifically I...

I’m in need of some help, trying to find parts for a ZKK 602 in 300win mag. I’m not very familiar with these. It was given to me as a barreled action, and appears to be in good shape. From what I’ve be able to track down it has a complete single set trigger and bottom metal. I’m missing the mag...

Hello chaps I have a reloading query here. I want to make 7.65x53 mauser (for the Argentine and Belgian Mausers) cases from a more available calibre. I tried using a Lee 7.65x53 full length sizing die on 30-06 cases and then trimming, but the resulting cases wouldn't chamber. I contacted Lee...

Making a mannlicher k31. I am looking to do this the best way, not necessarily the easiest way. Please let me know if you catch any flaws in my thinking so I can adjust before I make a permanent mistake on the work! Feedback is appreciated. Let’s begin! Here is the intended project: (I...

Hi folks Many years ago a good friend of mine before passing gave some stuffs, one of them was a magnificent blonde stock of a K98 Mauser, he was a good man with a long history over his shoulders hunting domestic and around the world. Honestly, I would like to keep the stock he worked many hours...

I inherited this gun from my grandfather among other guns but this one I’m not too sure what it is exactly. My guess is it’s a Mauser because of the receiver but I don’t know what kind of Mauser or if that’s not a Mauser stock.

I've got a Sears JC Higgins 51-L, Husqvarna swedish mauser action in .30-06. It belonged to my grandfather since he bought it new. The action is in good shape, but the barrel's a bit pitted though and it just doesn't group very well. It's got a very very basic stock, some worn blueing - so it's...

Hope everyone's Christmas festivities were amazing and safe. I want to see if anyone has experience with small ring mauser actions/stock choices. Cost isn't a giant factor, its about the bonding over building, assembling, and shooting finished rifles. I am talking about 1893 Odevo Spanish...

Hi all, I have a Chilean Mauser 1895 in 7x57 with a Lyman peep sight on the rear. I’ve been looking to find options for scope mounts, though I haven’t turned up much. It looks almost as if the K98 mounts would fit, but I haven’t found anything to support this. Does anyone know of any readily...
