The advertisement about cheap and accurate, reminds me of the 1891 Mauser I bought decades ago for $55. A friend bought one at the same time and worked up a load for it. I still have somewhere the five shot group I fired at 100 yards using iron sights. The five holes can be covered with a quarter.
When I was 14 my dad bought me my first “deer rifle”, an Enfield “Jungle carbine”, never fired, had to push the cosmoline out of the barrel, $25 dollars. The same Surplus store had barrels of seriously used Mausers for $5 each and barrels of “better” Mauser for $10. They didn’t sell like hot cakes.
