well I just bought a mauser geha, I know, I know, WHY??
and why haven't you posted in shotguns?? because as the title reads, to me its a milsurp bubba
anyhow I just wanted one prior to reading more info on them, I have now figured out why I got it for 100 bucks at auction, not a lot of favourable comments and reviews, however for some reason they intrigued me.
the write up read as follows when I looked at it and then placed my 2 bids taking it home,
mauser geha 12 guage, bore good, scratches on stock, blah blah blah......for 100 plus 10% buyers premium, i'll take it!! looked it over pretty good and looked just fine, a little beat up, whatever, its all there.
however problem number one.......a 12 guage it isn't!! its listed wrong!! its a 16 guage, which I wouldn't have bought had I known that.
problem #2 I am assuming from what I have read, its a 2 9/16" chamber.
soooo...... now I have a mauser geha in 16 guage with a 2 9/16" chamber????? where to go from here??
anyone have a source for shells for this thing in 2 9/16" or 2 1/2" 16g ?
my other alternative is to get some once fired 16g hulls cut them down and load them myself to which I have no objections, I can load them light and even maybe some black powder or pyrodex, I just like to play I do not hunt at all, problem with this is I have nothing else to fire 16g in and cant shoot 2 3/4" shells from it, {I cant say for sure what size the chamber is, however I am staying on the safe side}
all in all I guess my question is looking for 16g once fired hulls or 16g 2 1/2" shells, any thoughts or help???
thanks in advance, for the record, someone may post the norm this thread is useless without pics, just picture in your mind a bubba'd mauser as my phone is my only camera and close up pics suck on it
