  • Swedish Mauser questions

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 5 11:29:12 2018
    Can anyone email me in regards to a mauser rifle i found in my gfs mothers basement; we live in a high military area; old stations near lake huron and
    things! Please get back to me i can include pics to help determine age; also found an old magazine and a enfield 1917 barrel and firing mech. Could this
    be converted into an enfield? I think its close in feel just has the straigh down handle. Ita just abit different then the enfield of course

    [MODERATOR: The readership should speak to what it knows about this
    but Your Humble Moderator is pretty confident the answer will be a
    resounding "no". Mauser rifles don't easily (or safely) transform
    into Enfields. Seems like you have a nice old find, though, so you
    might very reaonably have the rifle checked out for servicability
    and enjoy it in its current condition. ]
