Seeing a recent post gave me this idea. How many of you still have your first Mauser?
I do. Despite my recent majority sell off, one of the three that I kept was my very first. DOT44 5-digit a-block, post-war rework, stamped renumbered to match, built from three different rifles (bolt/action/stock)
Cost me $100 in 1995. Cost nearly three times that for a cleaning rod, bayonet, sling, and German sight hood (came with a VZ24) 10 years later. Not the most accurate one I've had (better since i shimmed it), but still good enough.
