I have been thinking about getting an 1888 Commission Mauser for one of our local military matches (anything goes as long as it is open sight and a military caliber). I looked at one the other day, it has the S on the receiver, the grooves milled in for stripper clips, and the bottom of the mag well covered. Has anyone ever dealt with these guns before? This thing is in excellent condition with a great bore, and if I can get decent groups out of it, I would rather get it than a Nagant (never liked the safety on those).
