    Long time lurker, first time poster. I have always had a weakness for the early (pre-1914) South American Mausers.
    It was at this time that the newly-unified Germanyicon was flexing its military and technical muscles. The rifles they produced had a level of quality fit and finish (not no mention wood!) that today's custom builders would be hard put to match. These were literally the finest military rifles that it was possible to manufacture (with all apologies to the SMLE - arguably the BEST bolt-action battle rifle ever)
    That said, it seems that the Argentino and Chileo Mausers, inasmuch that they were better maintained, exemplify the breed. The 1909 Argentino sets the standard, and with a strong '98-type action, seems to be the cream of the crop.
    And, here's my latest '09, an engneer (or mountain) carbine:

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Honestly, I really like the Kar98a rifles. Apart from their cosmetics, which I find wonderful, they are short, handy, and sturdy. The only downside is the small ring but with the right loads, It is a beast. I will also agree with earlier posts that for accuracy, a 6.5sweede is probably the way to go. For me though, I love my 98a. Although a Mukden mauser is pretty nice as well...

    My Preference.
    I think the Portuguese 1941 K98icon is the best wartime manufactured Mauser.
    Peace time.
    The Brazilian 1908 & 1935
    Venezuelan M24/30
    Peruvianicon 1909
    Swedishicon 1896
