Finally got around to trying Berger bullets.....

Nice. Some of the Mauser's can be dated if they are original German military issue. They had some identifying stamps on the action itself.

If I were you I'd never let that one get away and make sure your heirs know it's place in firearms history.

The Mausers I have are all Yugo captures, except for the one Chinese Chiang Kai-Shek receiver that I have, but it was in pretty rough shape, so much so that you can hardly make out the gear shape stamping of the armory that manufactured it anymore.
