a friend of mine brought his friend to me to see if i was interested in purchase a 93 spanish mauser sporterized (1929) in 7x57. well, a long story short, i gave him a $100 and he gave me the mauser. i should have said no while clumbering to my "safe spot" and then drawing in crayons and weeping "no, bad orange man, no" while crawling into my onesy and blankee. i still have clean it, but the rifling is ok. the action and barrel have the same serial numbers, but everything else is a mismatch. the trigger is mush till you break it(8 or 9 lbs, i don't have a trigger pull gauge). the rear and front sight are there and the wood is "passable" due to its age. i have some(somewhere, honest!!!) 139gr sst and i'll load up a few just to see what it does. then i'll field strip the rifle, clean it and put it back together and then it goes into my safe. i'll probably take it to my gunsmith to do a d&t and bend the bolt handle. then i will do a dayton trigger kit and 2 position safety. i'll probably re-barreled it to a 257 bob , but thats a long way down the road. i have three rifles that needs a-fixing and i'll have buy a 22 hornet. jeez-louise, give a cripple a break, why dontcha!!!

Good afternoon The first rifle I bought down in Chattanooga was a nice Venesuelian 1896 Mauser in 7x57 ! Very nice action. Shot extremely well with my reloads. One of the few rifles I sold and as always regretted it many times over. Still have the dies though after 40 years of sleeping in storages.
