  1. Large-Bore/Small-Bore Rifle/Shotgun
    Had a unique find today at the gun show I couldnt pass up and could use some help identifying. I typically do not like sporterized vintage rifles, but this stood out to me with the unique caliber. I was told it was a Swedish Mauser action and it was rechambered in .45/70. I am no Mauser expert...

    Hello, I am new to this forum and hope this is allowed. I was gifted a 1904 Gewehr 98 Mauser with the Spandau stamp on the barrel. This rifle seems to be in pretty good shape considering it's age. All numbers are matching. The friend that gifted it to me said it belonged to his great grandfather...
  3. Large-Bore/Small-Bore Rifle/Shotgun
    So I bought a 1924 Yugo Mauser. This thing shot a PPU Rifle Line Sp 196 gr round no problem. Midway lists it as a .323 diameter. Many websites don’t even bother saying what diameter. Many boxes don’t even bother saying what diameter. I understand that later years in the 1900s bores are now...

    I recently inherited a FN Mauser from my grandfather and am having trouble finding any information on it. I’ve been looking at proof marks and haven’t been able to find anything that matches.

I am trying to find out another way to mount a rifle scope to the...

    What do you guys think about the value of this rifle? It's of course been modified for hunting. I would like to sell it, even though I think the historicity of it is pretty badass.

    I have, what I believe to be, a 1921 sporting Mauser. It has a "Germany" proof mark, and I put this on a Mauser forum a while ago to determine the age. The double trigger seems to be original to the gun. Everything functions well. The stock had a crack in it which I paid to have repaired...
