After 6 months of bureaucratic fumbling and delays, these arrived today. Two are Type B Sporters, calibers 10.75x68, slightly different configurations. The middle is a 410-B Repeater, caliber 22LR. The top 10.75 was made in 1931, the bottom one in 1914.

Very nice

Ballistically what is the 10.75x68 close to? What weight bullets does it use?

Nice brace of Mausers.

According to my chart that 10.75X68 shoots a .423 bullet.

I think those rifles would be happier in my gun safe in Missouri City!

NIIIIIICCCEEE!

Best,

Those are PRETTY! Can we rig this board so's Scott can't see them when he logs in? I'm hoping to do some traveling this year, not shop for guns.

Similiar to 404.Ed.

Crazy- The 10.75 uses 0.423" bullets (same as 404 Jeff), typically a 347 grain at about 2300 fps, although I suppose one could work up loads for heavier bullets. I haven't ordered brass & dies yet, I think Atkinson has used it and published some loads, Harald Wolf (Hatari Times) likes this round too. This cartridge originally got a bad rap because of poorly designed bullets that didn't hold up but good bullets are available today.

Very, very, very nice!!!

FLA, Very nice collection. Tell us about how you came across these rifles and how you got them into the States.
Thanks
Forrest

Beautiful rifles!

I am such a sucker for a Mauser. Teutonic or Anglicized, I just love them.

Problem is, I was born way too late.

And guess what? If I was born on time, I wouldn't have had the bucks.

Such is life.

And I do love the 10.75mm. Please post shooting results.

Thanks for the pics.

Great looking rifles I would love those !!

The 10.75 is especially nice.

Forrest B.: I found these Mausers in Europe. A U.S. citizen can import an occasional and limited number of non-military rifles or shotguns into the U.S. as long as the gun can be legally exported from the seller's country. You'll need to submit a Form 6 Application To Import to BATF. After it is approved, you'll need a Federal Firearms License holder to accept the shipment, clear U.S. Customs and perform the transfer. A licensed firearms importer is not required. It really isn't that hard to do but it can take time and there are a number of pitfalls. Forrest A.

What an exquisite brace of rifles.

Let us know how you like the cartridge as well. I was under the impression that it was an anemic round. I must have underestimated.
