Mo,
Mitchell's Mausers (to hopefully forestall at LEAST part of the commentary that usually follows mention of their name) tends to draw the same bombing runs just about every time the subject comes up.
You can expect to hear "Not real", "fakes", "dishonest", and "deceptive" shortly.
To put it in perspective for you:
You CAN find cheaper Yugomausers in lesser condition elsewhere.
You CAN find beat-to-hell relics elsewhere that actually saw battle.
You CAN find gunked & chunked cosmo-filled samples elsewhere for lower prices.
I won't speak to their advertising, or to their other offerings, or to the almost-word-for-word Internet complaints about the authenticity of past products with no specific details cited, but I will address my own experiences with them.
I have bought two Yugomausers & one PU Mosin Sniper from Mitchell's in the past 10 years.
In all three cases, I knew exactly what I was getting.
The M48 & 24/47 were both as-new examples of a classic Mauser design that I wanted.
They looked like they left the factory the day before I got 'em.
The numbers matched.
They were clean. They were de-gunked.
They were not battlefield vets, which I knew, and I did not buy them as collector pieces, which I also knew they were not.
Both were simply "new" classic Mausers, to all intents & purposes, and while I also knew I could save a few bucks in buying a lower grade one, or one I'd have to chisel out of a blob of cosmo, I was quite happy to pay extra to avoid that.
My minty first Chinese SKS came so wrapped in cosmoline it took me an entire afternoon & a full can of aerosol brake cleaner to separate gun from gunk.
Some enjoy that, I don't.
My Yugos came out of their boxes ready to hit the range, looking great, and ON THIS ONE SINGLE ISSUE, without extraneous commentary about other guns & ads, I was absolutely delighted with what I got & more than happy to pay what I paid.
In the case of the Mosin PU, it's authentic, numbers on the rifle match, the serial falls within the range of known snipers, it adds up, the scope's real, it & mount show every indication of a post-war SOVIET refurb with the rifle, and no indications of trickery, fakery, jiggery-pokery, or any other hokey-pokey commonly found on pseudo-snipers from other sources.
Again- I am entirely satisfied with that rifle and what I paid for it.
Other offerings I have no experience with.
If you know what you're doing WITH THOSE THREE RIFLE MODELS going in, and understand what they are (and are not), you can live long & prosper quite easily with one.
The 24/47, as I mention at least once a year (
) has outshot a scoped Weatherby at 100 yards.
If you want the pattern, don't care if it never fired a round at Hitler, and don't mind paying a little more for a very clean sample, it can be a good choice.
I wanted a "new" classic military Mauser, and that's what I got.
Bottom line for me.
