For sale - 1909 Argentine Mauser Sporter - $200 firm

ALL NUMBERS MATCH - Action locks tight and has far less "slop" than any military Mauser I have run across. If you are a rifle builder, you know that this is the Holy Grail of German-built Mauser military actions. It's the only one that had a hinged floorplate like a sporting rifle and was built under closer tolerances.

In addition to sporter conversion, the chamber was re-bored to .30-06. Its first, best use is for custom building a fine sporting rifle.

I will do private sale if you will travel to the Southern WI / Northern IL area and can prove you can legally own a firearm. (CCL, FOID card, FFL, etc) Otherwise, transfer must occur through FFL holders and buyer pays fees on both ends. I've been building rifles for a while now and know that the $200 price is more than fair for this piece.

Reason for selling: I've built several rifles on Mauser actions. (One or two were posted on AH.) This one was intended to be used for a .35 Whelen, but I built a .375 H&H on a Montana action instead. I'm no longer interested in building rifles, just shooting them.

Thanks for Looking.

Crap you literally beat me to it by one minute
 
I got an offer for full price late last night. Sale is pending. Sorry for the slow update - I've been splitting firewood since early this AM.
 
More than a good deal! Almost a gift.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
