nope I decide to pass on this particular rifle... I just didn't feel like I needed to spend $199 on an unknown..

I'm not a 100 percent sure exactly what I found. It definitely is a CZ/Brno receiver. But it appears to have a German Waffen something another proofed barrel on it. The only things on the barrel are a few stamps. Some sort of winged cartouche And the letters "L" and "O" and one or two other...

CZ ...anything Just about anything made by CZ in rimfire will have you smiling like a little boy after you shoot it! Find some decent ammo...companies like Norma, or Geco, Wolf, or any ammo by Eley or Lapua. They should shoot Winchester, Thunderbolt or CCI, ok...but if you really want to see...

why? Why would the receiver (from Empire arms) be "in the white" and the rest of the rifle be the factory/original blue? trying to learn....were they made that way? or did somebody remove all the blue from the receiver? Anybody have a go / no go head space gauge set that they could loan me...

pics What say you now? All matching part numbers..

too much, I think The LGS is asking $449...which is at least $50-75 or more too much in my opinion (just a wild azz guess)..But I'm a uninformed noob when it comes to these Mausers... No pics yet...a surprise "snow event" here...can't get to store, yet Your opinions welcome!

I stumbled across This at a LGS....again...twice in 2 weeks (different store this time)! 1909 Calvary Carbine by FMAP "Ejercito Argentino" serial number in the 004xxx's..that is in fair/good shape. ALL parts are the same serial number, etc. etc. Bore is acceptable, she needs a good cleaning...

was thinking, about a 1891 front sight tool and.. that maybe the front sight adjustment tool from a mosin nagant or a AK or similar could be used / modified to do the job...??? I cant be the first person that wanted to Accurately and quickly (relatively) move a front sight on a Mauser..Given...

Type of manual? I see More Google homework on the horizon. Found it! How do I make windage adjustments on the front sight? Is there a special tool? If so, where do I find this tool!

Finally! I finally found the time to post the results of my first outing with my new / old Mauser modelo Argentino 1891... I had to cobble together a way to shoot the gun...semi/ full hokey attempt at a home made sled.... The results still suck...but I was still pleased to even get rounds on...

there was an attempt.. I tried to cobble together a way to have the new/old 1891 (1895) Argentine be able to shoot yesterday. She went bang just like she should. The report woke the dead! :what: Since the weather was so bad and I was short on time and daylight, I decided to only put 10 rounds...

Thanks! and a question or two or three Thank you for the comment! I thought the same thing...if she can't be shot at least she would make a heck of a wall hanger/discussion piece! I had never seen a Mauser "Engineer Carbine" before! Seen plenty of different Mausers...never this...

keeping my promise Allright folks, here is my first attempt at posting pics on this forum..... here goes, here is a pic of the only area of pitting. Should I be concerned? Year of Manufacture, 1895 ? Darn it, who let the dogs out? Thanks to Imgur for the pics! Just paying my "floof" tax

Found it .... The video that shows me how to take apart a Mauser 1891 bolt. Man that spring is stronge! Anyway, I was able to get everything apart and cleaned up. Getting the bolt back together required a couple trial and error Runs. Had to get firing pin back to the proper depth. Given the...
