Plus 1 with Huvius on people named "Don" and their lovely Mausers!

Perhaps, I should change my first name to "Don" too so that some of their luck rubs off on me . . .

Deer Jerky,

Congratulations on a magnificent rifle! You do have history in your gunsafe!

Don S is, perhaps, the most dedicated collector and preservationist of historical Mauser rifles and you're talking to the right person about your gun's history.

Merry Christmas and good hunting, gentlemen!
