If I could have only one 8mm Mauser, I would probably choose to own Iranian Mauser.
These rifles were born in 1930s in Czechoslovakian Brno arsenal, but served in the Iranian desert all the way into the late 70s.
The Iranian army veterans considered their Brno Mausers, as the best military rifle of its time.
Iranian Mauser was based on the general Mauser Gewehr 98 design from WWI, but more specifically, the Czechoslovak army’s vz.24
This rifle’s official Iranian designation M-1310 denotes the year it was accepted for service using Iran’s old imperial calendar. 1310 in Persian Calendar converts to 1931.
Today, Iranian Mausers could be found inside the United Sates at rather affordable prices, and usually are perfectly preserved, with almost pristine rifling, which makes them very attractive to collectors who enjoy shooting their rifles.
M1310 are considered as one of the most precise Mausers as well, so let’s find out how they actually shoot at our course!
