RE: Mauser question
I was not aware that the Brazilian Mausers were made in Brazil. Rather, I thought they were made in Belgium of Germany and imported by Brazil.
As a general rule, "sporterized" Mausers which rertain the military stock in altered form are worth about what the barreled action would bring, since the "sporterizing" is often done "not too well." IF someone used a Brazilian Mauser action to make a custom rifle, then the equation changes.
