This weapon is deactivated by Idaho standards, meaning there are no rounds in the chamber or magazine (in this case there is no magazine). A few years ago when I was asked to do a presentation at a local school, I reminded the principal that I would be showing rifles, pistols, bayonets, trench knives and grenades. He told me that would be fine, but that he preferred that they not be loaded.

Closer shot






It has a bipod off an MG'08/15, so that give me an excuse to get one and then I will have to find the correct bipod too:)
 
outstanding Gus,
a beautiful example of a very rare Mauser.
I don't envy you having to carry it while varmint hunting around the farm ;-)

I do not carry this rifle any more than necessary. it only weighs about 40 pound but it is bulky enough that it is difficult to get a good hold of it. Not really that rare, but it is the nicest of the three in the neighbourhood:)
 
Fantastic rifle. It is interesting that the German solution in late WWI was to just oversize a regular rifle, but it worked!

How expensive are the rounds?

That is what is so great about this rifle, the rounds are free! Actually, James is a fault for bankrupting me, he gave me a round for this rifle a few years ago, and Maggie told me "You are not getting a T-Gewehr!" But every one knows that if you have ammo, you have to get the gun:)
