Re: Mauser M03
|
Just out of curiosity, I sent Mauser an e-mail asking them when their M03 would be available with a synthetic stock. As I mentioned to him, all other switch-barrel rifles on the market have this option.
Their reply:
In reply to:

A synthetic stock would make this rifle much more interesting to buy IMO. Some people don't like the cocking lever, but it's certainly no worse than Blaser's, and at least it's not a straightpull! I think I might well buy a M03 myself when it comes with a synthetic stock!
With new gun rules coming to many countries in Europe regulating how many guns can be owned, I think the switch barrel rifles are worth looking at. Since it appears that you will be allowed to actually own "unlimited" amounts of barrels.
