So I have some questions about Mausers... I have an antique 1893 Turk Mauser in 8mm coming in (NO FFL!!!) and a Spanish 1916 in 7.62. So there comes my questions... I know nothing about Mausers I do know these are both based on the 1893 cock-on close design (I prefer that after using an enfield). But I am curious what do people know about these rifles? I hear rumors about their ability to withstand modern loading (The 1916 has mixed messages about modern 308 ammo..) I do not have any photos, but should be coming in while I am on Pass (I am deploying and about to leave the country after thanksgiving). This will be my last one in a while but I may internet shop and let the rifles pile at my local FFL dealer and get them when I come back . Now I am not completely Mauser-less I have a RC K98 with a BYF 1940 make!!! But nothing matches, but at least it shoots like a laser!!! And an unknown GEW 98 its marking have been scrubbed, there is a amberg lion left on there and some traces of proof marks, and its got a nice blue to it... Dont know if this was done stateside or to slip by the treaty post-WW1... It had so much crap in the bore it took a act of god to get it out of there... hopefully it shoots better now... I will have to dig in my phone for photos... So what say you guys? (Pics welcome)
