Gentlemen
I just registered on this forun to see if I could get some advise on a Mauser rifle that I have. First of all it is an 8MM, with a 98 large ring receiver. On the side of the receiver it has GEW 98, a crest on the top of the front ring with the word DANZIG under the crest, and 1918 under that. The barrell is approximately 22" long with several german stamps on the barrell as well as the number s/42G on the right side of the rifle. The stock has a top piece that goes in front of the rear sight to the first barrell ring. The bottom of the stock goes to the end of the barrell covered with a metal cover that fastens to the stock.

Any information I can get would be appreciate. By the way, this rifle still shoots and is pretty accurate out to about 200 yards. I have shot it several times with old military as well as factory and reloaded amunition.

My grandfather left me a mauser rifle, 8mm. I have shot it a lot and it is extrememly accurate . It has the most beautiful stock, monte carlo great walnut figure, original mauser buttplate and plate at pistol grip. I have always assumed he had a custom stock built for it, however the stock is stamped germany in block letters near the wrist and my brother thinks mauser may have sold these rifles stocked in this style. Does anyone know about this?

Hey All,
I have a mauser rifle that I got from my grandpa after his death. I don't know much about it so I'm posting here to see if anyone has any info or value of the gun.
The caliber is 9.3 x 62. It is a bolt action with a double trigger to set the pull of the trigger. It has open sites and the rear site has three different sites. Two flip up to adjust for range. It is stamped with Waffenfabrik Mauser-Oberndorf on the side of the chamber. I have pictures but I didn't see anywhere to post them.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am probably going to buy a Yugo M48, M48A or M48B. There are several on the web at decent cost. This will be used as a "shooter" only, no wall hanging.
Any comment as to which of the models has an advatage over the other?
There is a nice looking M24/47 also listed. Any avatage with this model?
As always, I appreciate the responses from members.

I have an older mauser sporterized .243 and I am trying to find info on the exact make and model. Also, I need a new barrel is there an aftermarket barrel that I could purchase?

I recently purchased a rifle and need some information. What it reads on the rifle itself is : ( Fa'brica de itajuba brasil ) - ( 15 de novembro 1889 ) - estados unidos de brasil ) - (mod 08/34.30 ) and some serial numbers. Can anyone tell me what kind of gun this is and where and when it was made? Also of the value of the gun? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you, Chas

I have the M48 Yugoslavian. Cost was $150.00. Just like it came off the rack. It has excellant metal, wood, and bore. Came with accessories as well. The rifle is advertised in the NRA rifleman for
close to $300.00. Try to get one with all the goodies included with the rifle and not just the rifle by itself if possible.

Thanks 98harley. I appreciate the reply. Would guess the difference between a M48 and M48A/M48B is only the milled versus stamped floorplate. Unless I am mistaken, that is not a major issue?
