Mitchell's Mausers

[Matt L.]

Does anybody have any info on these guys? I've seen ads for them in various gun rags and was wondering if these rifles are actually what they're claiming.

I have not heard a whole lot of good about them.Seems to be buyer beware.

Their guns are fakes. Stay away, far away. They must have gotten a deal on dirty bird stamps at Numrich...

They are renumbered, restamped, polished, pimped Russian Capture K98's sold as original rifles.

That's what I thought. It sounded way too good to me. Especially with the full K98 sniper kits I've seen advertised.

Not just this, but I heard they buy Yugo 48s, Mausers made POST-war, which are then restamped and renumbered.

i haven't heard anything positive about that outfit either.

How can they get away with that?

 

[Normmus]

They must be selling a hell of a lot of fake rifles to be able to pay for those full page magazine ads

"...How can they get away with that?..." The same way other U.S. companies get away with it. There's a huge demand, Stateside, for the rifles. Funny how they think FN is owned by Browning.
As an aside, while looking for a K98, up here, I see Epp's has a swarm of Russian SKS' at $249.

M-M are blackguards of the foulest order, they started out selling sanded and polished M48's as "ORIGINAL K98K RIFLES!! (model m48) DATED 1944!!" Now they sell fake Russian 91/30 sniper rifles, with the original accessory kit (free with the rifle at Trade-Ex) for "only" $250 extra! AVOID M-M!!! They're crooks, if you need more proof, search "Gunboards" Mauser forums. Lots of disgruntled customers.

They almost certainly do not sell to Canada.You can hardly even get parts from Numerich anymore.Thankfully you can get most whatever you need in-country.Forget the U.S,thier ads are entertainment only now.

This is one of those rare times that I am pleased it is hard ( impossible ) to get stuff out of the US otherwise I would have been a sucker and got one - I would have fallen for the glossy ad.

If what is said here is accurate then I am surprised there hasn't been litigation in the US regarding them.
