I recently saw a 7.65 Argentine Mauser carbine for sale for $200. It looked to be in very good shape both inside and out. The guy who is selling it is moving and he doesn't want to take it with him. I know nothing about this caliber, but I did have an 8mm Mauser years ago that was in decent shape and shot well. 7.65 Argentine ammo doesn't look to be nearly as plentiful as some of the other military calibers, so I'm wondering if I should pass it up based on that. It sure had a nice feel to it though.
BTW, the guy said it had a stout recoil due to its short barrel (I'm guessing it was 16-18") and light weight. Also, he said its design is based on the 1891 Mauser.
Does this sound like a decent deal? Thanks for any info. you can throw my way.
