what do I have??

[trickleteam]

I"ve had a gun sitting around for years, just wondering what I have

Make ITAJUBA-BRASIL
Serial number 6631

I was always told it was a 30 06????

 

[tahunua001]

posting pictures would give us a much better idea of what it is.

is it a pistol or a rifle?
is it break action, lever action, bolt action, or semi automatic?
little stuff like that can go a long way towards helping identification.

 

[trickleteam]

it's a rifle
bolt action

ill work on pics


thanks for any help

when I went to register it the lady I was talking to had a hard time finding anything like it and asked me if there was a stamp engraved on it. I told her yes there was and she said wow thats rare????

 

[tahunua001]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it might be a brazilian Mauser made by Imbel but I am in no way an expert.

does it look like this?

 

[trickleteam]

is that a good thing?? I am so far from an expert it's not funny....lol

Probably a 1950s made Mauser pattern rifle by IMBEL (the current name used) in the city of Itajuba for the Brazilian Army. When they switched to a licensed copy of the FN FAL, the bolt guns went on the surplus market.

Hey Brian... that is funny stuff.

You probably own the gun in your picture. Mine's just Googl-Fu.

 

[trickleteam]

kinda like that one, flip up back sight and a spot for a bayonet in the front???

 

[Creeper]

Nope... mine's Googl-Zen too. First thing that popped up with an "Imbel Mauser" search.

and a spot for a bayonet in the front???

Like so?

 

[trickleteam]

it is just like the one in the pic. is that good??

 

[Creeper]

Might be worth $zip... might be worth $350 or more. Condition is everything.

Sorry... You got your "one free-throw research per thread" for me.

Ask tahunua001 or Brian... they are both much nicer than I am.

What kind of crazy place do you live in that requires registration of a rifle?
