How many Mausers do you have?

[Paper]

I'm not worthy...
2 M38 Swedes
1 K Kale Turk
1 Straight bolt and 1 bent bolt K98
And 2 Spanish Guardias, if they ever come in.

[Kismet]

Those Spanish Guardias any good? How do they shoot? Any feeding problems? What about the short stock? Can they shoot regular .308?
Heavy rifle, I bet.

Holy crap Sarge!!! Preparing for WWIII?!?!?!?! Man.....I tell you....I bet you live in the nicest part of town huh? No one get's outta line there I'll bet ya! lol ABSOLUTE AWESOME collection though man! I've got two, a Spanish M-43 and a Chilean M-95 that was bubba'd. lol

I'm turning forest green with envy at the moment.... I married an antigunner, and divested myself of my arms and my old copies of Guns and Ammo, etc., 36 years ago.

Now, she has finally decided we need a gun or two around the house. (Be still, my quaking heart!) Based on my salary/debt ratio, it looks like I'm going to have to go for maybe a CZ52 and a bolt weapon. I've seen the Yugo Mausers (27/48/etc) fairly reasonable on GunBroker. Should I go Yugo? Or M-N Mod 44?

(I think my keyboard is ready to short out from all the drooling! I grew up around WWI-era bolt actions in cracker barrels, and trail-hunted deer in Minnesota with an old Berthier. Just to be able to handle and shoot that many Mausers is a blue-sky dream!)

Hi TheWanderingMin Wecome to G&G. You may want to get a Mosin 91/30 for around the $80.00 range. Easier to shoot than a M44.

I tell ya Sarge and I mean no disrespect but you are blowing everyone away with your collection. You should just start a new thread and tell us a little about each type of Handguns, Rifles, FA's and whatever else you may have. I think I can honestly say pretty much everyone on here would love to hear more.

[Sarge]

My X liked guns, enjoyed shooting my MP 40. When we split up her and the boy friend stole 36 guns + 5 or 6 FAs. I convinced her the FAs should come home or the feds would have her ass. I failed to mention that the same thing applied to regular guns. The FAs came home, but none of the accessories. I tried to file a police report and when they found out that we were getting divorced they would Not let me do so - it was a domestik dispute! Thus they were not put on the national registry and I could not collect from the insurance. I managed to recover 12 rifles a couple of months later. Never saw the rest - probably went out of state.
Naa, not worth the time. I've only got another 100+ rifles and 80 pistols. oh, and 2 RPGs & 1 mortar.
I go from Civil War thru Viet Nam.
Actually a good thing she went away - I've spent my $$$ on guns & accesories for the past 36 years instead of a women.

I always wanted an Mp38 or Mp40...I guess the German in me just Likes them. Then when they passed that silly Law in 1986 ( while I was in the Wilderness living without TV, radio and all that) The price now means I will never get to own one , unless I hit the lottery...Or find that Big nugget out there in the hills...LOL
Dam DAM, DAM !!!

[far655]

sarge, which do you prefer to shoot? garands or mausers. im just getting into military guns,i actually am looking at a johnson too

[DWARREN123]

Just one, a M48 that will keep 5 shots within 2 inches at 100 yards on a constant basis with open sights and mil-surp ammo. It fits me well and shoots so good.

[Sarge]

Can't say as I favor either one. Will be out with the niece & nephew shooting both, among others, next weekend.
My favorite is a G or K 43. I've hunted with one or the other - several different over the years - since 1959.

[publius]

Spanish M1916 7.62x51 Quantity (2)

Swedish M38 6.5x55 " (1)


Would still like to own a Swedish M94 someday.

[GlockMeister]

Sarge, excuse my ignorance. But what are the bottom 3 in this picture? Is that what they called grease guns? That's what they look like anyhow?

What a beautiful collection you have. What a collection of history. It's great to know they are still around. I hope you have someone you can leave them to other then some museum?

I am thinking about refinishing the stock.

I also had a Turkish Mauser. It was OK but man it was HUGE!! I gave it to my brother because he said he wanted it and then he sold it at a garage sale for $40 without telling me.

Would love to get a K98.

RM, I'd first wash the stock with Murphy's wood soap, 1/2 cup to a gallon of water and use cheese cloth and see what that did for it. It looks like it has a lot of grime from hands and powder from over and through the years. It would only take a half hour to an hour maybe if that to do. You might find it's all you'll need or want to do then? Can't hurt anyhow.
