www.midwayusa.com is having a 10 Percent sale on books, videos, and software. Good luck.

Your dad might want to try Milsurpshooter.net as one website. Gunboards.com is another good website to check out. Another thing to do is to do a Google search for mauser rifles and visit the various websites that come up. A third thing is to check Google for Curio & Relic websites as there is a fair amount of information there.

One good book to have is Mauser Military Rifles of the World - 3rd edition by Robert Ball; check the various booksellers to see where you can get the best price.

Good Luck to you and your dad and welcome to the world of Mauser addiction

I have Muaser Military Rifles of the World, it's good but is lacking in a lot of things.
But this book and "The Muaser Bolt Actions, a Shop Manual" by Jerry Kuhnhausen seen to compliment each othe very well.
Lot of usefull info.

Good luck

thanx alot guys...ill take a look and see what one i think would be best.....thanx alot
