A very unique Mauser

**GUTS** · 02-01-2011 12:47 PM

I think I can call it that since it is styled after the Mauser. This is a MARS 115 Nazi WWII trainig rifle that is actually a BB gun, it shoots 4.4mm balls at 450fps. I had never seen one before and I thought it was kind of different so I bought it Friday. If it didn't have a little surface rust here and there it would be pristine. The furniture almost matches the color of my 98k. I have the original sling but it is torn, and I'm missing the cleaning rod.

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.

A very fine specimen. And one member of the extended Mauser-like family that I have not (yet) had in my hands. What is the purpose of that cute little trapdoor?

That my friend is where the BB's go. Now I have to see if I can find or make some 4.4mm BB's!

**Patrick Chadwick** · 02-01-2011 04:35 PM

Aha, so is it really a gallery rifle? With a push rod that acts on the tiny BB in the trap, and a barrel that only runs from the trap to the muzzle? The sight ladder is calibrated in meters.

The correct ammunition is probably that known in Germany icon

as "4mm Randzündung" or "Zimmerstutzen-Munition". It is still available here, and is manufactured by RWS. If you cannot find a source in the US, I can provide you with a couple of addresses in Germany, but I imagine that importing would probably not be easy.

Just imagine if they had paintball back then. The possibilities?

Hi Gut.
My name is Dam. I am a new member. I have seen your gun and I would love it. I wish I could buy one like you.

Didn't know these exsisted, really neat I don't know but maybe one of the shotgun pellet sizes will work for ammo.
