Did you guys ever read that Persians are Czech? An article in the current "Surplus Rifle" magazine at Barnes And Noble Books describes a Persian Mauser which the guy ordered from Samco, a few months before the article was written. This issue has some nice articles.

The author stated that it was practically unfired, if I remember correctly. At that time I was no longer interested in Mauser sights (my Yugo 48A), but with over 2,500 rds. of 8x57 ammo (.25/rd.), the recent gun/ammo panic put the Mauser in a very different light.

Wish I had known that the "Persian" is actually a superb Czech Mauser, based on the article.
Kicking myself for not knowing that 1-2 years ago.
