General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Model 1912 Mauser

"M12 308 Germany" is probably a Century Arms stamp, I believe the original chambering for Chile was 7x57 mauser.

General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Belgium 1889 D'Armes Mauser Value

Need to see some pics, current prices are all over the place, different parts of the country
will have different values, but a WAG (wild a$$ guess) would put it in the $250-$500 range
based on your description, which of course is subject to interpretation.

General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: 1906 Mauser

I'm no expert, but I would say yes, yes, and yes to your questions. If the caliber is 8mm it could be
.318 or .323 bullets and  would need to be checked before firing. The military standard changed in 1905
when the 150 grn spitzer in .323" became the standard sized projectile; sporting rifles however did not follow[size=78%] [/size]
suit right away and other calibers like 7x57 or 7.65x53 remained the same as before. Hope that helps.

General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Please help ID this rifle

Hey Bruce, are there other markings besides the date and "Ankara" on the receiver?
Also, is it a long rifle (29" Bbl) or short rifle (23-1/2" Bbl), never heard of a wooden sight
on any mauser rifle,  that is very unusual.

KAR 98K Rifle / Re: K98a Muzzle Cover

Wish I could offer a value that was valid, but if I were to guess I would imagine around $50 bucks.
That is a unique and interesting piece, nice rifle also, from what I can see.

Argentine 1909 Rifle / Re: 7.65 Arg
« on: October 31, 2014, 01:06:22 AM »
New here, but not new to Mausers, I'm no expert, just a guy who likes mauser rifles. That said all the
1909 Argentines, that I have seen, have been a deep blue or faded blue, even the re-arsenal ones.
The only Parkerized one's that I've seen were done by the owners, 1-black/grey , 1-green.
My 1909 Cavalry Carbine has a "in-the-white action with everything else "blue" and likely re-arsenaled
1926 or later, as it has the bayonet lug thru the "Mannlicher" type stock.
