Mauser Anti-tank rifles

[Dr.Lector]

Here is a copy made by Sweden. It's called M/21 and I have read that is considered by some people to be better made than the original Mauser.
I know there was at least one in Canada, but was exported in 2001, together with the huge Thomas Thorvald estate collection.
These pics are from a museum in Sweden.

IIRC The RCR Museum in London ON has one.

Wow... that Swede is just pristine. And such smooth machining work too.

They made ammo also.

WOW!
Do you think a Sierra 8mm HPBT would hold together at those velocities? The original tungsten bullets probably have a better BC anyways...

What was the barrel life on these?

I'm guessing that the barrel life was a bit better than the soldiers life expectancy.
