Interarms did a lot of squirrely stuff in the 70's/80's as I remember it. They definitely put together many sporterized military rifles for sale here in the US on Pattern14/17, No.1s, No.4s, and Mausers.
I have some fond memories connected with the Interarms retail outlet in Alexandria, VA., Ye Olde Hunter. In 1963 I was stationed at Quantico and made several trips to the store. At the time, you could choose between a double heat treated Springfield 1903, a WWII Walther P-38, and a WWII Mauser HsC, for $35.00 each. Unable to choose, I bought all three. I still have the Springfield. I traded the P-38 for a nice S&W Model 27 and the HsC for an M-3 Grease Gun (in Vietnam). I still have the S&W, but the Grease Gun was traded for an M1 Thompson. $35.00 would go a long way in those days.
