Persian Beauty
Well, Gentlemen, here one of my favourite rifles.
I wanted to go shoot her today, but yesterday I had a very long evening with friends, baking a zillion pizzas in my wood oven, so today was not really the best day to get out and shoot....
Too tired.
So, once I finished the necessary chores to clean up home, the dishes etc., I took her out and made a few pictures.
If I'm not gonna shoot her, at least let me touch her a bit.
Here she is.
Matching in all numbered parts: barrel, bolt, stock.
The rifling is as new, the bolt tight and precise as can be. I doubt this baby shot more than a couple hundred rounds in all her life.
The front sight is just too short to shoot well at 200 meters. At 100 I can aim at the bottom of the black target and hit the bullseye, but at 200 I have to aim below the target, so I added (just as an experiment) a short pole, one mm longer.
This way I had very good results.
I never shot it again after that time, but tomorrow......

Very nice. I have not yet found a Persian Mauser that fit my bank account or if not that, my condition requirements. I almost bought one dirt cheap but I decided that even with my patience and persistence, I wasn't going to bring that one back.

Strangely enough, the Persians are not too expensive here (considering our price levels).
Now there is a very nice one, all matching and in similar conditions as mine, including bayonet, at 750€.
I paid 550, found another one a few weeks later for 450 and got a friend to buy it.
Strange market on those ones, really.

From what I can see, they are among the highest priced Mausers here in the US. Not counting the crazy prices paid for K98 bring backs. $700 seems to be the norm and for my purposes of collecting those used in the wars, I can't really justify it. It might be because they are nearly all in very nice shape also. I don't know.

I can understand you.
Today I'll go see, and maybe buy, a Swiss K31.
It took me a lot of time to decide myself for this rifle, since Switzerland was neutral and these rifles have seen no action.
Same went for the Carl Gustafs.
But I also like the mechanics and the high quality, so, someday, I just stepped over this line.
The Persian Mauser is such a beauty, believe me.
I'm pretty sure you'd forgive her her "shortcoming".

Nice one too.
I must say I really love Mausers. All of them.
Expensive passion, almost like women;-)

The Persian Mausers have to be considered the top of the mass gun makers craftsmanship. Out of all the Mausers I have shot over the years the Persian just not only looks the best but it also feels better in most cases. Might just be a psychological thing but it sure seems to be right when you fire it.

They are really very well done.
I've seen only 4 in my life and used two, but they are all extremely accurate and mechanically great.
The action is really tight. Smooth, but tight.
I tried to load my dummy rounds (fired in my K98), but they have to be forced with great determination into the chamber.
The Persian has such a tight chamber that it only accepts her own brass.
Since I got first and second shot brass from the seller, I still don't know how she'll behave with factory new brass.
Mtoms, nice place for shooting a great rifle. I'd like to be allowed to shoot into the woods. Enjoy your czech!
