Hi Guys,...
I am new to this sight, I was trying to do some research on a unusual Mauser I have had for a very long time, When it came in on a trade the fellow told me it was a Belgium Police Carbine, also used as a Tanker,.... It had no handguard And i have looked from time to time at shows for a long time to no avail.
The Thread I found is in this section and titled
"Help identify really short Mauser"
The description and length of the barrel is the same, but it's in much better condition than mine, mine is missing the hand guard, But Mine has a number of markings and proofs as well as the crest. I am more of a U.S firearms guy, And an not really well versed in Mauser's.... Can any of you guys shed some light on this for me,... And any ideas where I can come up with a hand guard ?....
Thanks guys..
