I was recently going over a Mauser catalog I purchased from Stoeger Arms sometime back. Besides showing what was available the emphasis was on "Original Mauser Magazine Sporting Rifles"
as opposed to those offering rifles with Mauser actions. I know FN and Husqvarna did this and I'm sure there were a few more. I think this competition eventually led to Mauser folding shop.

Given the limited post war production I was wondering if anyone out there had one, and what their thoughts on the quality.etc.....

Thanks

I'm talking about sporting rifles. Stoeger imported some after WW2 and price was an issue These rifles were made in Germany by Mauser.

Click to expand...

yes FN made quite a few good ones..for Browning and others......,Whitworth made some good ones,for a bunch of different countries...and another American company.... cant recall its name now makes good units....others from south America,Isreal are of poor quality..... I,m working on 4 units right now....
The design as a war weapon was very good....made of steel,claw extractor double seated barrel...many good qualities.... Ruger adopted most.
