Israeli Mauser

Moving to Varna, Bulgaria... company move

oh man, you're in for a surprise (on body language)

 

[The Kurgan]

I wish you the best on your move to Europe. I consider you a very prominent CGNer. I remember you having posts with really nice surplus rifles.

No worries... I will be an active member of this forum until I can no longer type. Will still retain an apartment in Ontario for six months of the year, and there's no rules against antiques in that building. My conventional firearms will have to go to good homes.

You mean the nod for no and the head from side-to-side for yes? lol

 

[Fisselig]

Beautiful, beautiful wood! Very jealous. Hope you enjoy it!

yep
when I visited their seaside, the street food vendors were used to non-bulgarians and nod meant yes while shake meant no.
the rest of the population were the opposite
very confusing

Thank you.

Love the sig line. Speaks to my heart!

Is the stock Beech? My Israeli has a Czech receiver and a beautiful beech stock.

The 7.62 stock marking look wrong. They were branded
in, that one looks dremel

That's a real nice Czech made one you got there! Wood's real nice though I'm surprised to see that this plant didn't do stamping the same way for all the post-war Mausers it put out. I've seen an example where, where on yours Brno and the manufacturer info is, instead has the Czechoslovak coat of arms, and has the manufacture info on the side

Well, I am back up to four. Scooped a nice one at the Brandon show. It doesn't have the 7.62 brand on the stock. It also has a beech stock, plus is a good shooter. Posted earlier.

You should have an engraving on the action someplace, or it might possibly an unconverted model. Would be the first time I've heard of an unbranded 7.62 Israeli Mauser if it turns out to be the case, neat find if so.

Sorry, maybe not well written. It definitely is a 7.62, has that stamped on the action, but not on the stock. I've had the rifle out for a shoot.

 

[Arrow105]

Ah, that makes sense. Glad to hear you're enjoying your new fourth!

10 years ago Numrich had brand new Israeli military wood
for the 7.62 98k mausers. They were beech and not branded.

 

[freedomintheskies]

Actually I think it is a good question. 7.62 could also be 30-06 or any 30 cal. .

Yep, it is a good question. I purchased one several years ago and found out the hard way it was a 30-06. Thankfully, I was shooting some light gallery loads of trail boss and lead boolits. Those .308 cases sure do stretch!

 

[BAAC]

That's about the nicest Israeli I've seen. I had one and traded it a few months back. Still kicking myself...

Well done!

A newly acquired Israeli Mauser. Comments are welcomed.

Mint bore. Matching bolt.

That's a nice looking Mauser . too nice for you LOL . bring it to the show on Sunday and I'll give you $50 dollars for it .

 

[dyi]

Best looking stock i've seen so far out of all the israeli mausers i saw

 

[britinbc]

Hi
Nice rifle

Sorry slight thread drift,

I know some 7.62's can't use 308, but as these are 8mm mauser converted to 7.62x51 are they safely capable of using 308 ?

just thinking of the future if 7.62 gets a bit scarce

cheers J

This gun looks old, you could have bought a savage Axis 2 for the same price...…..
