Northern BC, Coastal BC, or Africa. Depends on the
I've "rediscovered" the mauser action, and now find myself saturated with the same boneheadedness about the action and its attributes as I did when I first started handgunning and only owned a 1911; it was it. :D Haven't run into a gun that was this it for me since the P7M8, I just love cycling and using the Mauser action, and appreciate it's many strengths. What a history too, still state of the art far more than a century after its introduction and relatively unchanged. These guys were onto something. :D

The love affair started this month with a Spanish Mauser, and fired up in earnest with the arrivals of my first two German Mausers in the last couple weeks, then a Swede... then a CZ527... (the epidome for me until I can afford an Empire 98 :D ) I had a Ruger M77 I loved long ago without knowing it was essentially a Mauser. :redface: :rolleyes: No bolt had worked as nicely as that one... I can't wait for my CZ527 7.62x39 carbine. :D :dancingbanana:

So, I could no longer contain myself, and wanted to shout my love from a mountaintop, but I didn't have a mountaintop, I had a... laptop. :p (Perhaps somebody's familiar with anchorman and this minor bastardization :p )

Time to start cleaning your rifles in a well ventilated area when using strong solvents....

Good malt liquor is getting expensive.
Some of us have to do with what we have.:( :D
Ardent, I know what you're saying.
Mausers are the dope!
But so are Martinis.......
And so are Lee Enfields.......
ARGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!:eek:
I'm going mad!!!!:eek:
But don't medicate me......this sort of madness is fun.:p
 
I am more than a bit of a Mauser nut, as well. There's just something about a well-tuned 94, 96 or 98 that sings, and don't even get me started on my FNs and Husqvarnas. :cool:

mausers

I've got three Husky rifles with FN '98 actions and I've even sold off a pre-64 Winchester recently that had been my main rifle before. I'm currently looking for a 9.3X62 Husky or FN.

I too like the action and can't even tell you why as I end up changing the safety to a Gentry 3 position and then looking for a hinged floorplate. It gets expensive fast!

The Mausers grow on you. I have about 50 or 60 mostly military, but some outstanding commercial and custom pieces.
I like the military models they have history and that's my weakness, history.
I have some recevers ready to be matched up to future projects, just haven't found a match up.
Don't get carried away with them unless you have some great trade items or a big pay check. I had to trade for mine, but I have been trading for 30 years.

Happy Hunting

Does anyone own a M94 and/or M95 in 7x57?
If so how do you find them as hunting arms?
I'd love to get a 7x57 as I don't own one at present but I can't really afford a sporting rifle and I'm wondering, as I already reload, if I might find a M94 or M95 just as satisfying and capable using accurised handloads.
What's the concensus, people?
 
Velcomin my freind. Now you joine the ranks of the wise and ahhhh well wise is good enough. As someone that is commonly reffered to as a "Mauserhead" it nice to see someone see the light. As we all know most modern day rifles are just "modified" Mausers. That indeed, is a compliment to the ppl that continue to produce them. I have several stk military and custom sporting rifles built on Mausers. Enjoy. Collect them all ..l.o.l.

BRNO.... You mentioned Modl B.... A cpl of years ago I ran into a cpl. and so of course they came home with me. Both pre-war Oberndorf. in 7 x 57 the other in 8 x57. They are in nice shape but I have no idea of their value. Perhaps you or MAUSER may have some idea.

Theres something about the Swedish Mausers no matter what action. It's like they use butter in their molten steel. Slick as Hell.
