RIFLES

       MAUSER

       Mauser Rifles

      The Chinese used a wide variety of Mauser rifles from the Gew 71 to the Chinese Model 1924. Some of these are marked with Chinese characters and others are not. Many thousands of Mausers were imported from China in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. Most of the variations listed here were included in the importation. Most of these were in Fair or poor condition. They have been used a lot in the 50 or more years in Chinese service. Any Chinese contract Mauser in Very Good or better condition is a rare item.
