More than a couple listed that make me think seriously about a road trip tomorrow.

Some of the descriptions sounded like really rare guns... Like the Russian SKS Mauser, the Russian 7.62x54R Mauser, the British 303 Mauser...

What do you have against Mausers??

Not a thing! I'd love to have a British 303 Mauser. But what really got my attention was the Russian 7.62x54R SKS Mauser bolt action. I've never seen a bolt action SKS, let alone an SKS Mauser.

I don't mean to be rude but a few of those descriptions are damned dangerous! They seem to have a Mosin Nagant caliber described as 7.62 then, in parenthesis, (.308). If some ignorant purchaser just sees the .308 and tries to fire that it could cause him/her a heap of trouble.

More than likely it simply won't fire, but IF it does... some very bad juju.

I also agree with the Mauser nonsense! Who are these people that are auctioning off stuff that they have no comprehension of what they have and obviously haven't gone to the trouble of properly identifying. This doesn't do them any good or their clients.

On a side note it appears that the stocks of many of the surplus arms have been bubba'd which is a shame. They would be worth more had they been kept in original condition. A shame.

PS - For all of my griping my condolences for the loss of your friend and I hope his family is well compensated by the auction.

Unfortunately, bad gun identifications/descriptions aren't terribly uncommon at auctions, though this one seems to be worse than most.

I would like to go to the auction, but I'm going to go to the range to shoot my AR-15 Mauser, my two Dutch carbine Mausers and my Turkish CZ 75 clone Mauser.

Just wondering why they would hold the auction on a Monday ? ! Wouldn't they have drawn a bigger crowd on weekend ? I think if I was the family I would have objected.

Monday was on the weekend.
