Strawing question, re: 1970's Mauser re-issue

Hi Hugh, well zippidy wow wouldn't I just figure, I guess it would be a bit to expect replacement grips to fit the '70's Mauser...

Good thing the replacement grips I just bought off e-bay are also needed on the "shooter grade mismatch" I just picked up...

If / when I get that refund check from the guy I bought the reblued-reworked Artillery from (kicking me back some cash to more equal the guns true value), I'll have to put some of that into enhancing my Mauser's grips, thanks in advance for your service.

Pete, re: "re-issue" on the '70's Mausers, it seemed they were making newly models that were made "back when" (like re-issue Fender & Gibson guitars etc), but also like you say they are "new" in that they are are new manufacture.

I enjoyed seeing the photos of your 6" Swiss Mauser, the guy I bought my 6" 9mm Po-8 model from also had a Swiss available but I couldn't afford both. I think he ended up auctioning off that Swiss right after I bought mine from him, gunbroker I think it was.

Yours looks really nice, and I remember now that ironically, it was Hugh who made your grips look so nice, BIG enhancement for your Mauser!

This is one excellent forum!
