British MP Mauser:Gun Broker

Scarce British MP WWII Nazi German 42 Code 1940 Mauser 98k 8mm - Curios Relics at GunBroker.com : 850041712

Anyone familiar with these rifles?

I have a really hard time with that story...really. The disc looks like it's hiding damage that they admit to. I'm sure someone will come along shortly to fill in the story. I wouldn't pay for that meal though...

A definite pass. I agree looks like the disk was added to cover damage. Cleaning rod is a repro and I see a lot of telltale signs of a recent cleanup, to make it appear nicer.

That makes perfect sense. After serving as long as I did, I'd never believe my forefathers issued an enemy rifle to use in an army that had lots of it's own to use. Just a story to sell a rifle.

Chutney anyone? :lol:
