This design became a conversion, but was not.


Left side, just above the U3 is an E followed by a lion followed by a Peter Mauser developed a turn-bolt mechanism that cocked the weapon as it was turned. If it is a VZ24, it is worth more than the guy is asking, as long as it is any decent shape, especially if it still has the crest and what they call an E-lion-date, like the pic below. The CZ is one of the best Mausers made, as well.

The M48 series of rifles were direct Get the Best Price! Vz 24 Mauser Review While they undoubtedly proved a headache for arms VZ 24 or M48 Discussion in 'Mausers ' started by If thinking about modifying it on down the road the VZ24 is a standard length action so has much more available Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. Coats of Arms and other markings on Mauser turnbolt rifles and carbines are extremely varied. I would get one if I didnt have the my mauser, it is a joy to shoot so the mosin would just sit in my safe.From the January, issue of American Rifleman. He already has a mosin, but they are indeed great guns at a great price. The sights adjust out for much, much longer ranges though the last couple of clicks are for "harrassing fire" where you just shoot in amongst the enemy. The sights on my mauser START at 300 yards, under that the shooter is too close and has to adapt his aim - so they thought a typical soldier could hit a man at 300 yards with them using iron sights and military ammo. Accuracy is more of how the gun was treated than production, even the rough mosins are fairly accurate and many were good enough for sniper use, mausers were usually better made and also had a share of snipers, not sure about the other one but honestly, if the barrel isnt worn smooth or flopping around, even a pretty sorry rifle is going to be accurate to hunting ranges in TN (200 yards or so, tops?). It is the package anyway my 44 mag pistol fires a heavier bullet than any rifle short of an elephant gun, coming in at 300 grains, yet these rifles clearly have more power. You can pick one up just about anywhere for around 120 bucks.Dead is dead, so the bullet will not make much difference.

If I would you I'd pick up a Mosin, if anything because they are cheaper to buy and cheaper to shoot. I think it would be hard for an expert to say either way since so many were mass produced in different locations. Edited Septemby JonninĨmm is a heavier bullet but it don't know if that really will make much of a difference for taking down whitetail. I could have bought it, but the 30-06 brass was cheap and easy to find. A little annoying with all the cutting and trimming but you reuse the brass many, many times. 311 diameter slug, and proceed from there. For my 765, I can use a tube cutter on 30-06 brass, then force that thru the sizing die, poke in any common. They will all shoot common slugs, so all you need is some brass, and often you can remake modern brass fit with a little work. Eventually, if you are into these old guns (and they are quite good!), you will want to just reload for them.

Eventually the mosin will only have 3 or 4 ammo brands and it will also be $30 a box of 20. The *reason* 8mm mauser is pricy is the surplus ammo is long gone. A thought: surplus ammo is great while it lasts, but people shoot it up at alarming rates. Mauser, mosin, 7.62Xlong, its all "close" to a 308 and plenty of power and range. I think you can get a lightweight 7.62 platform, not 100% sure. The mauser and mosin are going to be HEAVY and BIG to haul around. They are going to be equally good for hunting any normal game.
