aluminum bottom metal for mausers
A few years ago I bought (for $10) AN ALUMINUM MAGAZINE AND TRIGGERGUARD ET AL BOTTOM METAL FOR THE '98 MAUSER. iT WAS FROM THE PARKER HALE RIFLES AND I COULD HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL BUT ONLY BOUGHT ONE.....AS i WASN'T SURE ABOUT WHAT i WAS BUYING.......NOW I WISH I HAD SEVERAL MORE. I like my Mausers light and these really help. There was an antelope "engraved" on the hinged floor plate as well.

Any one know where I can get more of these?

I see them on Ebay now and again. Usually for the $30-$50 range.


As a general rule, people are nuts!

I'll bet they'd sell a lot more of these if they replaced that "engraved" floor plate with a plain one.
