We need to have some discussion on mausers and their authenticity.

Are mitchells mausers real mausers? There's been a lot of debate over the years if they are genuinely the real thing or not.

They say refurbished but there's a lot of work that's been done and sometimes even parts are removed.

I hear they convert some to other calibers like 30-06.

Does that still make it a mauser?

Is it a real mauser?

Will it ever be a real mauser even though there are some people who say it is?
