My BIL was in town for the weekend for a family birthday party. After hearing the women cackle for what seemed like hours we decided today we would do something manly
. So this morning we went to the local gun show. I went with 300.00 in my pocket and told myself " you are just buying ammo "
I have stated in previous postings on here that I am a sucker for older steel/wood handled rifles. Walked by this beauty and she spoke to me. It certainly has " patina " but in my opinion in very good shape. I know nothing about it but I figured what the heck throw out a price to the guy. I said i would take it for $200.00..........he thought for a few seconds and then put out his hand to seal the deal. Paid him the money and off I went. Did pick up one box of ammo as I am not familiar with this caliber. It is a Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891 in caliber 7.65 . The seller stated he had fired the gun himself and had no problem getting 3 " groupings at 100 yards with the iron sights and he said he can't shoot for crap !
I'll do some internet research on it and if I got a good deal great if not well not much out of my pocket. Here's a few quick phone pics.
