[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1643703, member: 8853"] henschman, in my opinion, there is some merit to your comments. This is especially true is your talking about a Mosin and many of the Mausers. Hoewever, close inspection of a K31 or a Swedish Mauser M96 will reveal mechanisms which couldn't be reproduced today for closer to $2,000 than $1,000. The tolerances are really amazing for military rifles. To top it off, they have barrels which are near competition quality. If you're used to looking at Mosin iron sights, it's like night and day compared to these two. M39 sights are a joy, as well. I admit to being partial to some of these old rifles. But, part of the reason for this partiality is simply because they are so good. I often question myself as to why I sold all mine. [/QUOTE]
