That's a good theory, i've also haerd that they kept the 1,000 graduation as a bit of a sales pitch, you know 'look what our pistol can do!' sort of thing
I won't be having hot meals for a while but it was worth every penny. Looks even better for real
Where those Greek mausers manufactured in Greece or under contract? You taken them to the range yet? Never had a shoddy mauser yet so they'd go ok
how many rifles does that make anyhow, you've posted a fair few in here!

The Greek mauser is an M1930, made for Greece by FN between 1938-40, it was a pretty small contract, 25000
I just got it in on Monday, so I haven't shot it yet, I'll prolly get to the range this weekend though.
yeah I've got 12 now, and 1 on the way, looking to buy another one soon, I'll take a group pic when the 13th arrives

the other part of rifle collecting... accessories... just got the bayonet for my M1944 spanish mauser
on the rifle
a good example of rarity having little to do with price... as it's obvious it's a clone of the K98k bayonet and we know how common they are and how much they sell for... these are a bit harder to find (only ever seen ONE on ebay most ebay results under spanish bayonet are CETME bayonets and the occasional M1941 bayonet) found one guy who had a few and at a good price ($35 plus shipping for mine)

M1943 is closer to a K98 in design... bent bolt (though straight bolt is also correct) 98k style front sight sling swivels on bottom and side with the rear being a bent bar sticking out from the side of the stock
M1944 has a K98a-ish style front sight, it's sling attaches tot he side only with a cutout and screwed in bar like the K31 for the rear all are straight bolt and they were used by the air force ... also unlike the M1943 they were undated
also most M1943 rifles were fitted with a bayo lug adapter for use with the existing stockpile of 1893 style bayonets and the M1941 bayonet

a little bit offtopic but what do you guys think about a:
G98 manufactured by Mauser in 1918 for 230

well i was just mentioning the price here... considering they came from over there i'd think they'd be cheaper... must be some other reason for such a massive price increase... and that price is from aim surplus (century has the same price for very good condition with bayonet)

Gewehr 98's are awesome rifles which are unbelivably cheap given the history and scarcity of them, i'd grab that without hesitation.

Woop, finally picked it up today. The ever sexy C96, this is a pre-war commercial version in 7.63mm, all matching even the stock, which i didn't realise until i got home!
One of the few times I stopped looking at pr0n to get a better glimpse in this thread. Nice C96.

i plan to... i also plan to get more pics once my sling and frog arrive... from bulgaria (might be a week or 2 on those)
i also got a finn sling with the M95 order because my VKT M91 seemed a bit naked without one
and i got a correct frog for my K31 bayonet in the mail today... so if anyone needs a frog for a Stg57 bayonet i have one

What's a good entry level gun anyway? You know, not for the experienced hardcore collector but just for someone who wants to appreciate a historic rifle and maybe take it to the range from time to time.
