A rather nice 8mm Vergueiro resides in my gunsafe also, although as we speak it is in bits for stock refurbishment.

I agree with everyone here, they are marvellous rifles and great fun to shoot. A sporter conversion would be a joy.

A word of caution, check the metal beneath the stock (barrel and action) before closing the deal on a military Vergueiro. Mausers may be prone to rust and pitting, but these things corrode like you wouldn't believe! I paid the dealer an extra 50 bucks to pull a half-dozen out of their stock-wood and send me the best one. It was still pitted, but not disasterous. One of them was downright dangerous!!

If you want to win beers at your local shooting club, Mehul, just disassemble the Vergueiro's bolt and challenge the 'experts' to reassemble it!!

...and bigger_is_best, you will have to elaborate on those destructive "later events". A house fire? Messy divorce? You've got our overseas colleagues suspecting some kind of Government restrictions....
