Hi,
This post is for 88MauSporter but I think some members can find this rifle interesting..
I sold this Carbine last year.
Some time ago I had a problem, I could not resist the temptation of rescuing any abused rifle I found. Later, I realize that this was a very costly way to buy guns and the resulted rifle never get as good as new.
I bought this Imman Meffert rifle some time ago to restore it but never finished the work, so I sold it.
This rifle was made specially for a gun store in Buenos Aires by Imman Meffert who had a very large gun making school in Germany. On the barrels you can read “Hecho para Pedro Worm” on one side and “Buenos Aires” on the other.
It was chambered for the 7,65x54 mm Mauser also known as 7,65 Argentine, military cartridge until 1960.
Serial number was 52025 and on visiting Pedro Worm Gun Shop some years ago, they have another Meffert rifle almost identical to this but without claw mounts. It was strange to find an almost identical rifle but what was incredible is that its serial number was 52025, 100 lower than mine. I don’t know how do you say in English a number that you can read the same both ways as serial numbers of those rifles.
Pictures are not very good but that is all I have.

Hope pistures are no too small.
Thanks
Martin
