Turkish 8mm Mauser

[clipslinger]

Went to the last Goodmans show, it was incredibly slow and everything was way overpriced, and was about to leave when..... There she was tucked back behind some refurbed Enfields from ishapore. I asked to look her over and the grinning old timer handed the rifle over and then a bore light. I looked down the tube and heard the choir sing hallelujah. The numbers didnt match but goodness the bore looked pristine. Trembling slightly and fighting to control my bowels, I asked how much to liberate the girl from her present captivity. I took the old thing home for a one hundred dollar bill, one benjamin and she is mine. Took her to Hobson and with Iron sights put all rounds on the little free target they give out, Im cheap that way. At fifty all were in the 10 ring. By then I was singing with the choir, dont think the RSO liked it but hey. My wife even likes the old girl but made me take it out of the bed and put it in the safe. If you like old guns get yourself one of these, they are getting harder to find but I couldnt be happier.

Aww man! What a great find! I have been looking for a Turk Mauser to go with my Spaniard, Yugo and, German. Can't find anything worth having for under $200. Congratulations!
