Mauser InterArms Reputation

Pete, Most collectors keep their Mauser Parabellums new in the box, like they would a Colt commerative, for future appreciation. That makes finding a used one to shoot, difficult. I do have new ones and the remaining US stock of repair parts for them, But if I was purchasing my first shooter, I'd rather purchase one of the recently imported reworked WW1 or 2 original PO8s for half the price of a new Parabellum, due to wider availability of parts and accessories. Also, they have been thru the wars and speak to you in subtile ways. See my Updated Shooter listing in the classified. Tom h
