Back in the late '80s, I was Christmas shopping at Woolco, and found a rack of about 60 Swedish 6.5 cal. rifles. Most were marked Carl Gustavs, but while looking through the assortment, I found one with Mauser markings. The wood was a bit dinged up, but the metal was nearly pristine, with beautiful bluing, so I bought it. I've since learned my rifle is a relatively rare early Mauser production, before manufacture of this model was moved to Sweden. The price? $50!

Happy Motoring, Mark
