Horsefly Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I've had 2 1908's,still have one,and they are the most pitted Mausers I've owned.I've seen several others that were as bad as mine.There is no rust or pits at all above the wood line and look beautiful,but man what a heart breaker when you pull them out of the wood.The out of stock parts of mine look as nice as any Swede 96.Please be prepared.I've heard of unpitted 1908's,but yet have seen one.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what your specific needs/interest are Ken98k, but I have a 17.5 inch Venezuelan FN 24 carbine barrel in 7x57; full military if you have an interest. Cheap.

Bob58 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 is that oneof the ones from SARCO a while back? i have one im not going to use either This came from a barreled action purchased from a gun shop in Idaho - don't know its earlier origins. Had a very nice action attached to it. Wasn't aware SARCO had sold FN 24 carbine barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsefly Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Gosh dang that's a purty action Clemson! If only mine was that clean.Reckon why the Mausers in South America were so pitted?Was it because of all the humidity? I had a Chilean 95 carbine once that had pits almost all the way through.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Fly, don't know why but every South American Mauser I've pulled out of the wood with two exceptions were pitted badly under the wood. A friend had a Venezuelan FN-49. I thought he was going to cry when we got home from the gun show and removed it from the wood. The only exceptions I ever saw was a 09 Argie Sniper's rifle I used to have and a friend's parade rifle from Ecuador (I think) that was completely chrome plated and the stock heavily finished. I'm sure there are more exceptions out there but since I've been collecting since the early 70's, pits under the wood on SA rifles are to be expected. According to my former father-in-law that spent apx 6-9 months a year for 30 years in South America. The weather is similar to North America except for the Amazon jungle area where the humidity is extremely high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
