This is a new one on my ran across a type 24 Chinese 8mm Mauser. I didn't know such a thing existed. something new every day. Really cool looking rifle. Anyone have one of these? I'm curious on their accuracy. Mulling over buying it just to have one.
It is very hard to find one with a decent barrel. They were not well cared for and tend to be "projects".
As stated, most have poor barrels due to corrosive primers, how's the one you seek?Quote:

By the way, Bill, my company has a daughter company in SD. I never come to the US, other than during exhibitions, because I'm too productive in Germany and other "Hun"-speaking countries.
But the next time that should happen, I'll come check if you got your Persian;-D
Frosty means rusty or pitted. If it ain't good or excellent I'd pass personally.Quote:

PS-- I bought a M98 trigger guard off Gun Parts Co. It was Chinese. Lots of parts out there. A huge dump came in 1990 and got parted out. I now know who got the parts dump.
