The Mauser Rifle has a good following over here. Some collect, others build rifles out of the actions. The Russian and Eastern Bloc are selling now at the major retailers of imported firearms. I became hooked at 16, when I bought a ww1 Mauser rifle at a local Dept. store ( K- Mart , 1972 ) for 20 Dollars. This included four boxes of ww2 ammo. The thrill of cleaning the cosmoline off and finding a fine condition rifle is a memory I will cherish. I traded the Mauser for a Zoli reproduction Remington Civil War rifle. Then I became devoted to muzzleloading. This is the way to learn about firearms. I had an import civil war austrian musket (.72 ) that would only scrape away a beer bottle label with birdshot ( I did not think about 00 buck, I was 15). That Zoli led me on the path to understanding ballistics, ect. I had been shooting competition .22 since 8 yrs old, however, ballistics had not clicked yet ( the math ). I am indebted to that cosmoline coated Mauser 98.
