Mauser Question
I've had an old Mauser for some time. It's a Model 1909 Argentino and I believe it to be unfired. It's definetly mint with all matching serial numbers. I always had the intention of having it made into a sport rifle but I guess I no longer see the need. I suspect it would be fun to shoot. If so, does anybody know what ammo would be correct? Then, should I shoot it or keep it unfired?

In looking for a mount for my Czech/98 Mauser - Midway lists two different mounts one for a Mauser 98 and one for a Mauser 98 FN. What is the difference between these two models?

You'll want to order the one for the straight '98 Mauser. There are slight dimensional differences in the receiver contours/shapes between the Mauser and FN '98s; although if your scope has enough internal adjustments either will work. 0 -
Thanks for the advice - I ordered the one you recommended from Midway.

The FN Mauser action is a commercial action produced in Belguim by Fabrique National. They were used on many commercial rifles such as my Harrington & Richardson. Many of the 98's were reconditioned and used on commercial rifles after the war (into the 70's at least)as well. 0
