Gun and gear reviews Mini Mauser

Post image

Any thoughts on this? I just saw Adriel’s, AKA hunting gear guy, review on this.

Looks… fine? Has anyone shot this thang yet? Please share some experience on accuracy and reliability.

Thanks in advance.

Bought the other .22lr that someone posted for $218 and its a rough gun to operate. The bolt is terrible and mag doesn't feed properly, not worth it imo

I've heard the CZ mags resolve the feeding issues. I ordered one for no good reason except it looks cool. I do have CZ mags to test the theory.

So the CZ mags fit the gun and feeds good?

That's what previous owners said. I used to owned a Norinco 1911 45 and the magazine that came with it was a piece of junk. I replaced with an american made Mec-Gar mag and that thing ran smooth. You're basically getting a replica Mauser 22lr for $200 here. You can't go wrong in my opinion.

I second this. Got one last year on sale and the bolt is very stiff and unpleasant. The mag doesn't feed well either

Its fun to look at but not worth it imo.

K, so sounds like more negative reviews than positive ones… meh I think I’ll pass then
