You seem to be "The Mauser guy" now, so I was wondering if you can take a look at something for me. I made a wild guess that [[Go_Tell_the_Spartans#Gewehr_1871.2F84|this]] was a Gewehr 1871/84. (I reiterate, a wild guess.) Those are the best shots I have. Any ideas? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 08:30, 24 August 2012 (CDT) | You seem to be "The Mauser guy" now, so I was wondering if you can take a look at something for me.

Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at something for me. [[Talk:Legend_of_the_Fist:_The_Return_of_Chen_Zhen#Unknown_Mauser|Can you ID this Mauser]]? It's got a straight bolt handle, and a flat tangent sight. I initially thought Brazilian Model 1908, but there are no grooves in the handguard. Thanks. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 16:43, 29 December 2012 (EST) | |||

== Straight bolt K98ks == | |||
I ran across what appeared to be K98ks but with straight bolt handles. I'm assuming they were built as K98ks with bent bolt handles since there's a cutout in the stock to accommodate the bent bolt handle. I read online that the Russians often put G98 bolt handles on K98ks when they refurbished captured rifles after the war, but this was an American TV show from the sixties, so these rifles probably didn't come from Russia. Do you know any more about this? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 12:43, 28 August 2013 (EDT) | |||

I have to ask you as an expert in Mauser rifles. There are some strange Mausers in ''[[March_or_Die#Unidentified_Mauser_rifles|March or Die]]''. They resemble Spanish M1916 but have straight bolt handles. I'm also not sure with [[March_or_Die#1893_Spanish_Mauser|rifles that I identified as Spanish M1893]], maybe I'm wrong. The movie was filmed in Morocco where Spanish Mausers aren't a rare bird. Thanks in advance. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 13:02, 29 March 2014 (EDT) | |||
:Great thanks for help! But I have a question: the rifles that I have previously identified as Spanish M43s have different stocks from Turkish Mausers, and they also seem to be shorter. Or not? Maybe there was a shorter version of Turkish Mauser? I tried to find an answer in "Mauser Military Rifles of the World" book (on Google Books) but found nothing.

Mauser rifle page
GREAT work. I like the summaries and backstories of the rifles. Are you going to do more on each section of the Mauser page? If so, I am very much looking forward to it MoviePropMaster2008 21:48, 6 July 2012 (CDT)
Working on M1903 Turk as I write. Thanks for all the great pictures!--Stomper 22:01, 6 July 2012 (CDT)
Model 1912 Steyr Mauser - Chilean Contract
- How much do you know about this model? I used to own one. Sometime in the 50's or 60's it was modified with a shorter barrel and chambered for .308. Got rid of it, but I've always been curious about it. --Jcordell 11:13, 22 July 2012 (CDT)
FN Modele 1950
I saw your work on the Mauser and Springfield pages, and I was wondering if perhaps you know anything about the FN Herstal Model 1950 rifle, the model chambered in .30-06 Springfield, and fielded by the Belgian military for about three years before being replaced by the M1949. I've been scouring for information on this rifle, and I just can't seem to find anything. Anything you know could help. Thanks. --Dirty Harold 16:12, 29 July 2012 (CDT)
- Thanks again. Even what little you knew was helpful. --Dirty Harold 13:22, 31 July 2012 (CDT)
Go Tell the Spartans

ID
Hey, I was wondering if you could take a look at something for me. Can you ID this Mauser? It's got a straight bolt handle, and a flat tangent sight. I initially thought Brazilian Model 1908, but there are no grooves in the handguard. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2012 (EST)

I have to ask you as an expert in Mauser rifles. There are some strange Mausers in March or Die. They resemble Spanish M1916 but have straight bolt handles. I'm also not sure with rifles that I identified as Spanish M1893, maybe I'm wrong. The movie was filmed in Morocco where Spanish Mausers aren't a rare bird. Thanks in advance.
