There’s this $200 bubbad FN Mauser (converted to ‘06) i bought that I have been trying to find pictures of similar crests online, I’m in the waiting period to receive it and forgot to take a picture but the best I can describe it is it has an crest design kind of similar to the Venezuelan Mauser contract rifle like this, but said “Fabrique Nationale Belgique” where the above picture obviously has the Venezuelan text

This type 38 is genuinely the most pleasant bolt action I’ve ever shot. It’s also a pleasure to reload for!

My favorite “Mauser”

From what I can tell it’s a matching bolt to the gun. It’s a Mauser 98 and stamped for Colombian military. How old is it? And approx value?

Just acquired need help with finding age and origin 

Hey yall, I recently bought a Czechoslovakian VZ24, I took it to the range and couldn’t hit anything even with a rifle rest and having a few other people try, turns out the rifling is completely shot. Think it’s worth having redone or should I just sell it and cut my losses? It’s a nice decoration piece and it even has a bayonet but it can’t hit anything.

Safety on my Yugo M24/47 refuses to budge from the “fire” position (9 o’clock). Is it normally very hard to turn or does the rifle need to be cleaned somehow. (Operates perfectly otherwise)

Got this today.  Appears to be a Russian capture and almost certainly re-arsenaled as the condition is great.  Hoping it’ll make a good shooter.

Yugoslav M48

Just got this VZ.25 for free was it a good find? And any information on it?

Hello Ladies and Gents.
So a while ago I scored this nice yugo preduzece 44 98. 
Shot some rounds didn’t land all going left. Looked at the sights and noticed the rear sight is pushed left. 
Back on the range I made a small MacGyver fix pushing it right with a little cardboard to confirm my suspicion. Shots landed fine at a 10 inch gong at about 50 or so yards.

Bought an adjustment tool (16 bucks on eBay!! Well worth it) and adjusted the front sight left. I feel it’s close but the adjustment needed was big. Is there anything wrong with the rear sight or any tips on what I need to dive deeper in or have a smith look at. Pics on how it’s set up. The rear sight in rest and when I push it over. 
Front sight adjustment. Note a prior line/mark 
On the base and point.

Sight adjustment to much??

I now have pictures of the markings I could find on the rifle my grandfather claims to have taken off of someone he killed in combat.

Update to war trophy

I know it’s a 1895 Chilean Mauser but I am interested in the history of the markings, what factory it was made in, what contract it was apart of, etc. Any history or identification helps. Thanks!

How much is Canadian surplus ammo worth?

Trying to ID what i think is a Mauser rifle in 25-06.  Passed down from a deceased relative.  

How much do you think this is worth? 1918 Turkish Gew98 with a K98 barrel and Yugo stock. Has German, Polish, and Nazi markings 

Some German rifles

Just picked this mauser up on a black friday sale. Just wanted to know more about it. With the weird scratched numbers on it I doubt its a numbers matching rifle. But any insight into what it is and what parts it has would be truely appreciated.

This is my VZ24 Mauser. I got it like a year ago. pawnshop find. 

All numbers matching except the bayonet.

I didn’t know anything about it when I got it and only got it because it looked so good (condition wise)
I can’t find a spec of rust. Minimal dings.

Curious when it was made and how much it is worth. 

Thanks for any help!

I was shooting my k98 today with some Greek surplus ammo and the bolt got really sticky, I couldn’t open the bolt and had to wait till I got home from the range to open it with a hammer, now my bolt won’t close even on an empty chamber unless I use an extreme amount of force, here is the picture of the spent casing, what happened and how do I fix this? Thanks!

Just picked up this m1914, I can’t find anything on year of manufacturer by serial # online. Does anyone have any information on manufacturer dates? Also no there’s no unit marks on the front strap, just a Crown-U and something else imperial German.

My all matching dot 1943 my grandfather brought back from ww2

Hello mauser folks. I bought this 10 years ago and have no idea what the current values are. From what I can tell it's all numbers matching, vet bringback. The auction I got it from claimed it had never been fired. Perhaps I've ruined it by shooting about 25-30 rounds through it? Anyway help is very much appreciated!

Hi, I recently purchased this old mauser sporter from a friend and im working on cleaning it up, but I can't quite nail down what model it is. I know its an FN, and my current guess is maybe a sporter deluxe. 

The beyond that I have no idea though, and im thrown by the side sight mount. I'm missing the other parts to it, but knowing what it is so I can get a replacement would be cool. It also came with a redfield scope and mount attached.

I'm also unfamiliar if the washburn trigger is standard or not, but when I first pulled it is was surprised by how light/crisp it was.

Any help or info would be appreciated.

Anyone want to save me a lot time identifying these? 

My local gun stores are unreliable in stocking it, so I’ve switched to online ordering. Anyone know any decent/reliable sources for 8mm Mauser? I’ve had luck with Bud’s Gun Shop, but I’m wondering if there are any better sources. 

I’m willing to buy steel and not just brass. 

Also Interested in sources for Romanian. Not interested in sources for Turkish. Ammoseek has a thousand sources for Turkish, and I don’t want any of it.
