1891 Mauser sporters

[iroc22]

Curious if anyone has any nice Argentina or Belgium 1891 Mauser sporters out there? I also wonder if there were any factory sporters made on these actions? Pics please if you have any.
Didn't have much luck with searching on Google.

Be careful. Some of these rifles were imported into the United States, and were rechambered for 30-06 cartridges.

They give me the creeps.

A buddy commited suicide with one.

They would have to be left in the original caliber. The 98 actions are strong enough for .308 which is what most were converted for.

Definitely worth getting gunsmiths to check them out, as with basically any vintage rifle with unknown history.

I've got a couple of these rifles in military garb but I have a couple that were chopped up and I wouldn't mind converting one of the chopped ones to a "vintage" sporter with express sights in the original caliber. Just can't find any examples to model or compare to.
