Went to a auction this morning with dad, and picked up 700rds of 8mm mauser for 75 bucks, they all came in these green pouches, and all came on stripper clips. Was so excited about the purchase I had to post it, lol

WoW! Great Find!

was total luck, didnt even advertise they had ne gun stuff there. Which is why im guessin I got them so cheap.

Looks like Turk to me. A little on the hot side but usually acceptably accurate. And yes, that is a very good price, most prices I've seen for it lately are $18-$20 a bandoleer.

Yea they shoot real well. And yes on the hot side(you deffinatly know you pulled the trigger) they have no problem going through 1/2" plate steel,lol

Wow, that was a great deal! I haven't seen much Turkish Mauser ammo lately anywhere. Well, I did see some on Guns America. A Thousand rounds sold for 300 bucks if I remember right.

I need to start going to auctions.

Im gonna keep goin to them, it was just a farm auction dad went to check out the tractors, an they ended up havin the mauser ammo, and a bunch of handgun ammo that went for pretty cheap id say.

Nice find! I have some also but not that much. I think it shoots well also!

 

[rugertoter]

That was a score and a half! The 7.92x57 is an excellent round.

Nice find! I have some of that Turk ammo too, a few hundred rds of it. Like others said it's hot compared to other 8mm I've shot. The Turk ammo I have is all from the 1940's.

 

[sgreen3]

I dont really know what era its from, but from what Ive seen on here I dnt know if I want to shoot that much of it. seems to be a hard item to come across. May just get some other stuff to plink around with,lol

Check the headstamp, there should be a date there. Are your bullets silver or copper colored?
