about Mitchells Mausers

[billt]

I purchased 2, M-48 Mauser's from Mitchell's a few years ago, and have been completely satisfied with both of them. I wish the people who continually badmouth them would just realize that not everyone is interested in a "period correct", historic Mauser. Some just want a really nice, clean shooter that doesn't look like it was used for a tomato stake. Mitchell's provides this, and at a fair price I might add. My rifles look and shoot great, and I've never taken them to my club range without receiving several compliments on them. Someone will most always ask where I got them from. If Mitchell's were such "ripoff artists" as many accuse them of being, why do they have a triple A rating with the BBB? Mitchell's has many repeat customers. I know of 3 people who bought rifles from Mitchell's after seeing and shooting mine. Face facts, there IS a market for these rifles, and it's a very large one. Not everyone who wants or owns a Mauser is interested in "historical correctness". I keep hearing how you can buy rifles like Mitchell's sells for much less. I have yet to see one. Here in Phoenix we have more per capita gun shops than anywhere, and I've seen plenty of Mauser's in them. Most I would be afraid to load and shoot. Beat up, old Mauser rifles are a dime a dozen. You can buy them most anywhere. Mitchell's provides nice, clean, accurate rifles with new accessories that you can't find at most gun shops. They also deliver in a timely fashion, and provide a money back guarantee. That is more than most do these days. Count me as a satisfied Mitchell's customer, and there are plenty more where I came from. Bill T.
