*** November 2015 Purchases ***

This thread is a regular feature of The Members Showcase, designed for members to display pictures of their purchases made during the current month.

You can link directly to your pics at your own personal off-site web storage space, however, remember that MILSURPS.COM provides all Registered Members the ability to upload directly and store up to 8 Megabytes of personal pics (60 pics per post), which are automatically displayed as thumbnails in your posts. If you are a Contributing Member (click here), then the amount of storage space is UNLIMITED. Refer to the picture photo montage below, which demonstrates how pics uploaded to MILSURPS.COM are displayed at the bottom of an individual post.

If you're not sure how to upload or handle pics, then read the thread titled How do I upload or post images on MILSURPS.COM? (click here)

Never thought to have one of these legendary rifles!

More details in the Mauser Forum as time permits in the S/N 380 DWM Mauser thread.

Nice Jon .. :thup:

Although I haven't had a chance to create a formal Knowledge Library entry for it, here's a piece from my collection …

1896 Boer Mauser Rifle Serial # B7772 (click here)

"One of the first 20,000 rifles delivered in 1896 to Z.A.R.
Serial number ranges were A1 - A10000 & B1 - B10000"

"All matching numbers except cleaning rod and un-numbered bolt"
"Vet bring back and was originally part of CMI collection"
