Nicks on the stock and spots on the barrel are the first things the seller mentions, and they ask buyers to see the pictures. This used Mauser is chambered in 8mm Mauser, with a 24 inch barrel, a five round capacity, and a black and wood finish.

An 8mm Mauser could be a German, Yugoslav, or other pattern. Look at the markings on the receiver ring and the bolt to see which.

It is an honest-wear rifle at a modest price. Check the bore and the headspace before you shoot. A simple, strong Mauser action will serve for a long time with basic care. Keep ear and eye protection handy for the first outing, whatever the caliber. Plan a first range trip with a few different loads so you learn where it prints.

Condition is exactly as described and pictured. The rifle is sold as described and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer you choose, where the background check is completed. Give the photos a slow look at full size; they show finish and wear better than any paragraph can.
