Mauser Enigma

Post by oldironsights » Wed Nov 26, 2008 9:42 pm

Here is one for you.

Built in Czech Republic in 1945 under Nazi Germany control, it found its way to the new country of Israel where it was used to defend the newly formed state.

Rechambered to 7.62NATO from the original German 8mm in the fifties, it sports the dot 1945 code along with approval stamps of Nazi German on the right side & the Israeli approval star of David on the left.

A very sweet shooter. I was surprised how tame the 7.62NATO round is compared to the 8mm.
