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.

I’ve said before that Norinco makes 95% of a functional gun, the other 5% is up to you. Rough machining and edges, it’ll need some polishing and deburring. My 1897 trench clone was a total disaster until I did that, and I haven’t had a single issue with it since I put that last bit of work in, and I beat the absolute piss out of that gun.
