Post by: Phosphorus32 on September 20, 2015, 12:52:27 AM: Very nice Mauser collection! thumb1

Well, I'm a wood stock junkie (not to be confused with Woodstock junkie :)) ) and that Turkish M38 may not be the rarest of Mausers but it sure is the prettiest Turk I've ever seen.

Your new Belgian FN looks pristine, the inletting looks like it was done just yesterday, not over 60 years ago :o

That 98/40 is very clean indeed. Bet that fetched a pretty penny when you let her go.

Post by: 1mlt on September 20, 2015, 07:51:49 AM: Beautiful collection. I am especially fond of the "Persian" models. The workmanship on those is simply top shelf. Maybe I'll get another one some day. Get a "Swede" to top them off. You won't regret it.

Yeah everyone loves that Turk wood, I def hit the wood lottery when i got that one.
I paid a about 640 for the belgian which i thought was alot but Few weeks after that i seen another like it but not as nice go at auction for 1150.00! So im a happy camper .banana time

The 98/40 If it had been matching would have been a 2000 rifle. This one was not matching so i only sold it for about 600ish to a dealer at a show, but i had got it at a local auction for 425 so i did ok.

I had a Swede and will add another but the one i had was not very nice. The next one i add will be as close to new as possible.

I had a FR8, it was a century conversion, when i went to shoot it the first two shots were decent on paper at 100, then it opened up, i shot the 5 and looked at the gun, th handguard was now 5 inches forward from where it was supposed to be. ::)

Yeah they converted it to .308, I just looked on my Hard drive, no pics left of it, i must have deleted the folder.

Post by: Greasemonkey on October 17, 2015, 02:49:15 PM: The FR7 and FR8 were converted in Spain at Fabrica De Armas La Coruña. The large ring FR8 was converted from a Model 1943, the small ring FR7 was converted from a M1916. CAI didn't converted them, these are true Spanish Mausers. It was a stand in for the Cetme while it was under development, which is where the 7.62 Cetme round came from. It was a lower power round than 7.62 NATO, it was eventually changed to 7.62 NATO, due to some issues with the round, and the Cetme was revised for the Nato round.

CAI didn't converted them, these are true Spanish Mausers. It was a stand in for the Cetme while it was under development, which is where the 7.62 Cetme round came from. It was a lower power round than 7.62 NATO, it was eventually changed to 7.62 NATO, due to some issues with the round, and the Cetme was revised for the Nato round.

Well if thats the case then They themselves didnt know what the hell they were doing. who ever converted it when changing or shortening the barrel had cut the bracket that held the lower wood on and when i started shooting it tarted walking forward a there was no way for it to hold in place. pullhair1

The rear of the handguard is retained by a very tight circular spring clip around the barrel. Removing the handguard is very difficult, and alot of them got broken by over zealous people cleaning and stock refinishers. Finding a replacement is near impossible and can be very pricey if found. And also, the triple ring is roughly the same as the Cetme, with a slight amount of fitting it will fit, and the barrel follows the same design also, the biggest difference is it's threaded for one of the two Mauser actions.

So sorry you had bad experience with one. :( Sounds more like bubba got ahold of it, in my opinion.

Title: Re: Not just a SKS guy, Im a Mauser whore too ;-)
Post by: oldcarjunkie on October 17, 2015, 06:47:18 PM: HAHA.. I just called him, He reminded me It was the MAS 36 that was converted to 308 that was doing that. and that My FR-8 Was nice but I just couldn't get into it. Sorry , i guess my memory is failing and i have too many rfles.lol

Post by: firstchoice on October 17, 2015, 10:24:51 PM: Heck of a Mauser collection, oldcarjunkie! That Turkish M38 sure has a nice stock.

I hadn't seen the FR-8 before. You can sure see the Cetme's heritage in that front end.

Thanks for sharing your awesome collection of Mausers!

Post by: oldcarjunkie on October 17, 2015, 10:44:20 PM: Thanks ! And everyone loves that Turk stock. If I were to ever sell the gun. I guess I should find a stock to put the turk in and then sell the tiger stock on ebay.lol

You were right. I was wrong. Had the wrong rifle in mind. Right details of the problem but when I called my buddy earlier he reminded me.

It happens, I brain snart all the time fart1 rofl

And yeah, the CAI converted Mas 36 and a majority of the 49/56 conversions were typically flat out putrid toads. Either one in 7.5 French is a 1000x better. thumb1

Post by: running-man on October 18, 2015, 12:42:51 AM: That sounds like a great time OCJ! Get us a range report with a few quick and dirty snapshots if you can! It's always fun for many of us to live vicariously through members of this board when they get a new addition to the collection or spend time with a vet like that. You might let him know that many on this board are extremely grateful for his sacrifice. thumb1

Post by: oldcarjunkie on October 18, 2015, 06:15:56 PM: Sorry man didnt end up getting any pics but the rifle worked flawless, I asked Him if he wanted to shoot it first and he said no for me to, I went ahead and shot 4 test rounds and it worked great so he went ahead and shot it, he was still all in the black at 100 yards so his shooting skills are still there. he was talking to my buddies and started explaining how he got the gun but the emotions ran too deep and he had to walk it off. It was great to hang with him, he really is a good guy. he had some really old ear muffs, like 1940's sears Muffs, so i went ahead and gave him my spare set of Cadwell electronic ears as i know im buying a set of Peltors soon.

Whoever owned this weapon prior to me had it scoped, so I suspect it was probably related to the setup they had but can't say for sure. This rifle cost $42.75 many years ago.

Damn shame they scoped it, That rifle is near mint. I assume they must have drilled the left side of receiver and turned the bolt down. Now those rifles in great cond go for more than 10 times that

I believe they are 140 gr, and are Solid pointed bullets
I shot some the other day when we went to the range , it shot well, i didnt have time to try to get the rifles to point of aim, but Holding about 12 inches low and using some Kentucky windage at 100 put them in the 8,9 ring with both rifles.
Title: Re: Not just a SKS guy, Im a Mauser whore too ;-)
Post by: Greasemonkey on October 21, 2015, 10:40:18 PM: Best bet for accuracy in a 7mm is the original load, a 173gr round nose bullet.

The first 4 are original military round nose, 2 are dated 1896, 4 years after the 7mm Mauser was invented, and 3 years after it's first acceptance into the Spanish Military.
The rounds from 1941 with the CBC on them are Brazilian. That's Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos, or as we know them now, Magtech thumb1

Title: Re: Not just a SKS guy, Im a Mauser whore too ;-)
Post by: Greasemonkey on October 21, 2015, 11:56:20 PM: PPU and S&B makes a 173gr round that closely emulates the military round, in spitzer design. Military surplus is often found, but not so much in bulk anymore.

The 139grain stuff is sometimes not very accurate in the worn military bores with the military twist, also, the longer bullet give more surface area for worn rifling to grip. And another downfall of the lighter bullet is the military cut chamber. Most chambers have a lead cut to clear the longer round-nosed or the more modern heavy spitzer bullet, which means the light weight shorter 140gr. spitzer has to travel a ways before it reaches the rifling, thats another situation that can affect accuracy.
