RE: mausers
 

I would ask someone on one of the forums at milsurpshooter.net . If you have any inkling to the origin of your rifle, someone there will be able to help you.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?

RE: mausers
 

I dont know of a web sight but Im sure there is an on line mauser club that can help.I have seen a book on mausers of the world if that helps.

RE: mausers
 

thanx i will try searching for a mauser board or military rifle board...and i will look for books...i want to collect them down the line and do my own work on them just because they can be found easily and the action is one of the best...thanx for the ideas..

I'm no expert, but I have 7 or 8 Mausers myself so I'll try and help. Are there any markings on the receiver? If you could provide pictures it would help as well.

See if your local library can find you a copy of Ludwig Olsen's book on Mausers!!

The library may not be such a good place to go. I have tried just about every library in the NY metro area and anything to do with firearms seems to be taboo, The NRA put out a publication a few years back titled Military weapons of the world. Another place to try might be a barnes and noble or borders and see if they have a copy of the Janes that covers firearms and armaments.
