Rare Mauser 714
Some people call this "Mauser 711". But 711 was not this. 711 was Nickl Schnellfeuer on Stoeger's catalog.
Navy Arms sells a re-assembled variation using imported parts from China, they call their product "TU-711". The model numbering probably also coming from old (but wrong) classification of 711.
Another importer, Federal Ordnance had similar line of products. Interesting enough, they named their assembled parts gun "714". Logically, I felt 714 was probably correct. Historically, this variation happened after 712 (i.e. Westinger Schnellfeuer), not before 712.
One seller is selling this. I made him an attractive offer, and he accepted it. Here is the gun, just arrived. Should have arrived earlier, but the damned storm delayed delivery. I was sleepless last night due to FedEx tracking showing no change in almost 30 hours. Lost?? But finally, it's here safely. The production volume of 714 is unknown.
