Brazilian **Pre War** Waffen Mauser 7x57 Gewehr 98 pattern Bolt-Action Sporting Rifle

Description:
Here we have a beautiful example of a German Waffen Mauser Sporting / Military Rifle; the Model 1908. Chambered in 7x57mm Mauser with a simple tangent-leaf sight
and longer upper hand guard. Overall a truly great conditon rifle and part of history. 
 First produced by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) and Mauser, they were exported to Uruguay and Brazil and soon after the Brazilian War Material Industry 
began producing upgraded versions of them, until the Waffen Mauser rifle was eventually replaced by the FN FAL. 
The Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) and Mauser were the original producers of this firearm and would begin exporting rifles to South American nations like Uruguay and most famously Brazil would adopt these rifles. Brazilian War Material Industry (IMBEL) would produce upgraded versions of this rifle until they were replaced by the FN FAL. When the Brazilians got rid of their rifles they sent many surplus units to the Dominican Republic. These models are distinct because the Brazilian markings would be replaced with Dominican markings and the desginated model 1953. When the US intervened in the Dominican Civil War many of these rifles were preferred over the M16 rifle due to the cartridge having better performance over 5.56×45 NATO at long ranges. 

Known for its accuracy, controlability and precision...great for the collector, shootist and hunter.
