Spanish Mauser

johnwilliamson062 · February 3, 2009, 09:05 AM

Anyone know where i can get one of these in operable condition? Does not need to be perfect, just safe and fun to shoot. I have only found one site that has them and both they have are in pretty bad shape. I have a FTF for one possibly, but it is missing some parts.
Samco has some on backorder. Can't get through on the phone to get info...

Why would you want one? They're the worst Mauser you can get. I've got a Bubba'd one I use for a truck gun but it was a gimme is the only reason I have it.

Cheap rifle that shoots 308 and I don't need to worry about banging up. I didn't say this will be the only Mauser I own...
Are you really trying to talk me out of buying a Mauser?

Unless you can find a 1916 that's been arsenal rechambered to .308 you'll have to have one rechambered. Yeah they do make good knock around guns.

There must be some floating around, I have one in 308 and the wood is almost like unissued. The bore is super clean too.I saw them on Gunbroker from time to time.
