This rifle was originally issued to Infanterie-Regiment 30, Ersatz Battalion, Kompanie 3, Waffe Nr. 95 and it would make a nice addition for anyone who's into collecting German Mausers.
It's an unaltered "all correct" piece and has "all matching" serial numbers, right down to the smallest screws. It's in pretty good condition for a 119 year old rifle and the barrel is still very shootable with well defined rifling. I shot it once when I first got it and I managed roughly a 6" group, although I have to admit, I'm not very good with open "V" iron sights. A pic of that target appears in the picture virtual tour. I'm reluctant to sell this old girl, but I have two of these 71/84 Mausers and I need space in the armory for new acquisitions. :D

Model 71/84 History: by Keith Doyon (click here) (http://www.militaryrifles.com/Germany/71-84Mau.htm)
The I.G. (Infanterie-Gewehr) Model 71/84, Germany's first infantry repeating rifle, is a further evolution of Paul Mauser's first successful military rifle, the I.G.Mod.71. German Mauser. Taking advantage of critical lessons learned from the Turks at the battles of Plevna in 1877, (where the Turks, armed in important part with M1866 Winchester repeating rifles soundly defeated the numerically superior Russians armed with Krnka and Berdan II single shot rifles) the I.G.Mod.71/84 is an I.G.Mod.71 with a tubular magazine (itself a derivation of the Winchester system), a Mauser designed lifting mechanism similar to the Kropatchek design and improved rear sight.
