Odd looking to say the least... :confused

It kinda reminds me of the old "Pellet Gun" ads they used to have in Popular Mechanics magazine about 20 - 25 years ago... You could choose from about 5 different models for only $4.95... :lol

Looks like a super deformed mauser...

Would make a killer custom blaster for sure! :love

There are usually some Mauser "carbines" on eBay, but I don't remember them having a long barrel like that.

 

[superjedi]

Geez. . . very weird! :eek Never saw one like that before. Like a DL-44 on steroids. :lol

Actually, the Mauser carbines do have the long barrel. They just don't have the weird extended body like this one.

I think what you have there is a Moselle...

Run that page through Babelfish's site translator for some more (albeit confusing) info...

I bought a couple of these at Frank & Sons a few years ago. I started cutting one up to make a custom blaster at the time, but never got around to finishing it. Thw ones I got were springers. Kinda cheap.

 

[Bad Wolf]

thanks for all the input!!
yeah, i had orginally picked it up to make combo solo/fett rifle but couldn't bring myself to do it

hey, mechamaniac, thanks for that link!!! mine didn't come with that lanyard loop part. can't wait to translate that page!

 

[Bad Wolf]

hey, what's this Franks and Sons? anyone have a link? thanks!

 

[Mechamaniac]

Frank and Sons is a HUGE indoor consignment market in City of Industry CA that is centered ENTIRELY around Sci-Fi, Anime, and Toy Collectibles.

To native Californians I know, it's no big deal since they have every collectible under the sun right under their fingertips. So most of the people I know talk about it in passing or about how it's ONLY open on Wednesdays and Saturdays....:rolleyes

[Bad Wolf]

wow! big place!
thanks for the info.

oh, by the by, mechamaniac....would you be interested in parting with one of your mausers?

 

[Mechamaniac]

I don't have one, I just found the link online.

 

[TheGreenMachine]

I don't have one, I just found the link online.

But it was definitely a useful link. According to that page the manufacturer is Yonezawa (ヨネザワ). You can try searching for Yonezawa\Yonesawa and Mauser and can come up with a bunch of links. Looks like these were produced in the early 80's.

I think (could be wrong) that this gun was used in 'From Russia With Love'.

Nope. That was an AR-7 Survival Rifle. Also used in Goldfinger.

Robert Shaw used a C96 Mauser to snipe at the Gypsy camp.

Ugh. I was thinking of the rifle in Bond's briefcase. Totally forgot about Grant's gun.
