M98 Mauser, FN made, Mexican crest marked 1924, turned down bolt, refinished, possibly bad pitting under wood line, all numbers visable matching, very strong rifleing, 7x57..... With a 16" barrel !!!
Looks like a factory front sight, but last barrel band looked "funny". No cleaning rod.
Advertised as a "Bicycle Mauser" (?)
Has anybody ever heard of a bicycle mauser? I always wanted one of the Latin American super shorty Mauser, but was put off by the bicycle nomenclature.
Did I miss out, or was the little voice that said Mexican Bubba "Tanker" right?
