(this was also posted in The Art of the Rifle, although I think that this would probably be the better place to post it...)
So I just called the local gun shop and asked them if they have any Mausers in stock (since my girlfriend said that she'd buy me one for our anniversary. I got a good one, fellas!), and he said that he had one Chinese Mauser in stock. Now call me stupid (please don't, really... ), but I've never heard of a Chinese Mauser before.
Doing a bit of snooping around online, I found out very little about them. The one model number associated with Chinese rifles that shoot 8mm Mauser is the T88 Hayang Rifle. Is this the same thing? The guy at the shop said that it was like a model 98, and that it had a very good bore and action. Will this gun take regular Mauser furniture?
Any info (on the T88 or any Chinese Mausers (if this isn't the same thing)) is appreciated. Thanks!
