You guys and your rich people problems :ROFLMAO: You don't have these problems when your shooting $ .03 turk out of a $60 vz-24!

It does look like a Whermannsgewehr, and I would be interested in buying depending on what you wanted. Shoot me a message.

You would need to pull the barrel jacket off and take a look. Did the proof house tell you it was 8.15x46r when they reproofed it? If not what makes you think it is 8.15x46r?

I would be very suspect of the 8.15x46r designation. Otherwise, a nice rifle!

A bit of technical to get clear.... The Karabiner 98, used a standard length, small ring, large thread receiver. This is significantly different from a small ring, small thread receiver. I've never been able to corroborate this with primary source documentation, so take it with a grain of...

Pretty sweet hammer drilling for May of 1941!!

The real question is.... who is buying it?

Yes

Rare early German prototype from the 60's for Sniper rifle. Designers were afflicted by copious amounts of fear of communism.

8.85 is the bore diameter, .3484". 9.07 is the lands or outer diameter, what we in the US today term the bullet size, .357". 360 is the lead, or rifling "rate". 1 turn in 14.17". 108.49 is the bore gauge. It is possible that this barrel was made pre war, and not utilized until post war. There...

It is a commercial Mauser, 9x57, nice rifle!

I'm going to offer a slightly different view. That looks like a lower case "m" to me. Sometimes seen on some DWM and Mauser parts. I have no idea what the significance is, and I haven't been able to find a good reason why it is there. I think I have an example, if I get time this weekend I will...

I appreciate several things from Mark, first of all he is bringing attention to vintage guns in the same way that C&R Arsenal is. (owned/managed/produced by the same person as I understand it) Second, Mark may be an internet "celebrity" in our obscure corner of the world (the kid my kids watch...

Very nice example, and in very good condition. I would not consider that bolt original, and definitely not matching numbers.

The stock is amazingly crisp, very nice!

Glad it was of interest. I'll hold on to this one and put a barrel in it when I get a chance.

Did you exam how the YouTubers blew themselves up? I suspect most of them there was a good reason they blew themselves up, and most of them were not because of the design of the rifle. I'm not a Youtuber and I don't know much about what goes on there, but I did watch one video of a guy nearly...

Keep in mind the barrel is a replacement as well, so it muddies the waters. Mexico also bought a large number of 7x57's of various pre-98 configurations, several orders from FN, supposedly this included carbines.

I have to ask because I have never heard of this, the whole Loewe family changed their names? Wasn't Ludwig's brother Isidor, technical director at Vickers for a period of time. His name was Loewe as well. Another one of the family... brother as well, Sigmund?, had some other business concern...

This is one of the ATF's more idiotic notions. Any pre 1898 is an antique and not a firearm. It is therefore not under the ATF's purview. They have no legal authority to regulate it. However, if you cut the barrel of an antique below 16" (18" for a shotgun), it magically becomes a firearm, and...
