Clemson Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I received a "bundle" of 1908 Brazilian Mausers in 7x57 last week from Century. They seem to be in relatively good shape without any deep pitting. Metal is discolored for sure. Overall, they look rough, and the condition was advertised as "good, cracked stock, dark bore." I expected about what I got, and that is OK. 4 rifles for $356. Once came with a cleaning rod. I think the stocks could be salvaged, too. I intend to use the DWM actions for sporters.

tinkerfive Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Well tinker anyone your taking lessons from? You mean like half the guys on here (including you) that know more than I do? Hey, one day maybe I'll be the one with most of the answers but, today I wouldn't claim to have more than some of the answers. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
