Persian Mauser Carbine

[Junk Yard Dog]

My favorite shooting Mauser, the Persian Mauser carbine. This one has most of it's blue gone, rubbed off by Iranian desert tribesmen who like their guns in the white. Carried much and shot little, mechanically the carbine is perfect, fully matching, rock solid stock, and perfect bore and crown. The Mosin M44 leaves a tiny fireball compared to this Mauser, the barrel is almost 2" shorter than the M44. Stand just behind the shooter and slightly off to one side and the muzzle blast will leave you feeling as if someone compressed your body, but it's not a bad rifle to shoot once you get used to it. This one loves the slightly hot Turk rounds.

Interesting little carbine!

Is the rear sight in Farsi?

[desdem12]

Love the crest! I like the shorty's, they look cool

[Junk Yard Dog]

Yes, it's in Farsi, this carbine is the same size as the German G33/40 but without the lightening features.

The Persians bought some fine Mausers, and that carbine is a fine example JYD.The Shah would be pleased to know his rifle ended up in good hands.

An absolutely beautiful gun! One of these are on my top three short list at the moment...but have you seen what they go for these days? Man, I would love to see that kind of a fireball coming out of a Mauser...nice!

[lonesome]

Wow, cool rifle.

Amazing. The Persian Mauser is & has been on the top of my list for some time.

Thanks for sharing.

I have to ask you experts a question. Who refurbished these rifles to their current condition or were they manufactured as such?

The really pretty Persians are as they were made. JYD's nice carbine looks to be in a used, and unrefurbed condition. I am curious though. JYD is your carbine of Czech manufacture, or Persian (Iranian), Both types are out there.

So far as I know none of the Persian rifles were refurbished, there were, and are some unissued long rifles ( Persian GEW98's) being offered by SAMCO as well as issued rifles, but no refurbs. This carbine is in it's issued condition, nothing has been updated since it was last used in the field some 30-40 years ago.

I remember Samco had Persian Mausers for sale for quite some time.

Jim it's easy to see how it could be your favorite shooter. That finish is just the way I like them. I'd like to see that fireball! The same Turk ammo is what broke my Hakim extractor. Definitely a 8mm round that is best suited for the bolt actions.

The metal on that is just great. I love the Persian and South American Mausers. They have such nice designs on the barrel shank / receivers.That lion is very nice.

It's my favorite trail rifle because it's light, and packs a big punch, just in case Mr Bear gets nasty. The action is smooth, and the rifle swings well, I can aquire a sight pic very quickly, it's sights are slightly less crap than other Mauser's. I recall SAMCO selling lots of long rifle Persians, 98/29's but not the carbines, they may have done so long ago, there is no import mark on this carbine.

Now I see it, JYD! Likely one of the Interarmco specials of the 1960's. If you bought it more recently, I bet you paid more than the $25 with eighty rounds of ammo.

And yes, these shorty Mausers have a great trail-gun feel to them. I see there is a saddle ring for the tether in case the riding gets rough.

This is the rifle in your video the young man bruised his shoulder with? His reaction was priceless.

[Junk Yard Dog]

The same rifle We did tell him to hold it tight several times, that time however I think the lesson hit home
