Will a Mauser barrel last 26,460 rounds?
TheMexicanMennonite@reddit
No. Assuming an average of 45gr of powder is each cartridge that’s about 170lbs of powder. Most barrels wear out somewhere between 20-25lbs of powder over their lifetime. So you could shoot out 8 mint Mausers and still have ammo left.
Junction91NW@reddit
In 20 plus years of working with guns you are the first person I have EVER seen claim the weight of powder is a good benchmark. The fuck?
AdvancedLuddite@reddit
To be fair, 95% of the general public and people working with guns don't understand how barrels are even worn.
Quadrenaro@reddit
Yeah, that was quite a read.
somebrains@reddit
Imagine if someone did a throat erosion measurement based on powder charge. It might be a good study for any ballistician or metallurgy student trying to figure out a PhD thesis.
I wonder if any powder company would fund the study.
Critical-Regret-97@reddit
This is the most inaccurate measurement standard I have ever seen. Maybe accurate for one caliber, such as .30-06 having more powder than .308 and thus higher muzzle velocity and barrel wear. But between calibers? No. A simple google search will tell you it can last upwards of 10,000 rounds if you make sure the corrosive components are cleaned.
TurnipCase@reddit
My question would be regarding the stages of shooting put a barrel. Is 10k rounds just a loss of accuracy, or close to failure point?
rdmrdtusr69@reddit
It depends, a high quality 556 barrel at 10k might still shoot acceptable groups, while a cheap one will probably be shot out at 5k.
Battlefield Vegas, the machine gun tourist attraction shoots their barrels until they keyhole. That's to complete failure, but most would replace barrels way before that. Precision shooters may replace once they lose a slight amount of accuracy. It really depends on the requirements of the user. US mil spec for an M4 is about 4 MOA iirc.
Junction91NW@reddit
4 MOA is a minimum standard. Most M4A1’s shoot 1-2 MOA
rdmrdtusr69@reddit
Yeah, if it shoots 4moa it's in spec.
rdmrdtusr69@reddit
Velocity and heat.
Low velocity, low rate of fire, longest barrel life.
High velocity, high rate of fire, shortest barrel life.
That's why a Glock barrel will basically last forever, but an AR barrel usually doesn't last much more than 10k. Barrel material and quality of course are big factors also. Compare a 45-70 barrel and a 22-250 barrel from identical blanks, the 45-70 would probably outlast the 22-250 by 10x.
Tall-News@reddit
And also why 22-250 goes through barrels so fast!
BranchLost4154@reddit
😂😂😂
Zastavarian@reddit
Or if you get mausers from royal tiger inports... to shoot through 26k rounds, you'd probably need 27k guns.
geraldgarner141powns@reddit
It’s not rust, it’s “ported”
LabronPaul@reddit
Man they're such ass it's really a shame they get cool things from time to time.
MalikTheHalfBee@reddit
What if it’s 25lbs of powder in a single shot?
TheeVanillaGuerilla@reddit
Oh it'll wear it out alright.
Baseplate343@reddit
Will my arm be able to open and close the bolt that many times?
xj98jeep@reddit
Only one way to find out

Great price in for 3/s

Ottoman Empire intensifies
TrunkCat@reddit
lol I think it is a pretty solid price isn't it? I don't Maus' so I have no idea what 8mm costs, but I thought it was upwards of double this
i could go check ammoseek i guess, but i'm going to leave this comment instead
Brad_0504@reddit
tax and shipping ruins it. Hold off gentlemen
DifficultAd6366@reddit
Yeah… THATS why I’m not jumping on this…
AskMeAboutPigs@reddit
If i'm spending 10 grand ya'll better ship it for free
Few-Information7570@reddit
Gosh this puts me in a tough spot. Three months Mortgage or invade a small country. Decisions decisions.
redditguy135@reddit
Iraqveteran8888, now is your chance for 8mm Mauser meltdown video!
ilostaneyeindushanba@reddit
How the fuck do they give zero discount from the case pricing to someone buying a pallet
Willing_Pea3637@reddit
If you go to their ffl and Pick it up…
ilostaneyeindushanba@reddit
Did you have a stroke in the middle of typing this or do you just not do complete sentences?
Willing_Pea3637@reddit
They give plenty of discount it’s 4 bucks a box…
ilostaneyeindushanba@reddit
You don’t seem to have understand my original comment was saying but you do you, also I have no idea how this incomplete thought has anything to do with your last incomplete thought. I’m just going to assume from the constant ellipses that you’re old and not good at using technology or the internet.
Willing_Pea3637@reddit
Not reading that paragraph…
Panthean@reddit
You can sell the pallet for $13
Coves0@reddit
That’s assuming it’s a class A pallet lmao it’s probably some shambled together thing with nail pops and broken boards
joeg26reddit@reddit
dude what? FREE PALLET
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
Uhm ackshually:
9,499.99 / 26460 = .35903212396 359.99 / 1000 = .35999
It's 0.096% cheaper bro. That adds up!
rickscarf@reddit
It's pretty much a buy "26,460, Get 9 Free" sale
Rjsmith5@reddit
Real talk - This has been one of the most annoying I’ve seen over the last 5ish years. Places give little to no discount for bulk purchases anymore.
BurtGummer44@reddit
Gotta tell them to hold the pallet to get extra savings. That's why I always order my 30k rounds loose
AskMeAboutPigs@reddit
Bulk purchase discounts are harder and harder to get
Bearloom@reddit
Ah, dang... and here I am needing a pallet of 7x57 instead.
Willing_Pea3637@reddit
44/40
KingRansom@reddit
I know ammunition can have almost infinite shelf life if it is stored properly. But these being 1939 or basically 85 years old, they may have changed hands quite a bit and who knows the environment they were in. If you do end up with some bad ammo that's a lot of rounds to have to send back or try and get monetary compensation for. I don't know much at all about Mausers but considering modin ammunition is far more than this, this sounds like a pretty good buy if you have the means to store something this large
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
I bought a case of this stuff a few months ago and it was dusty as hell but every one went bang in my Yugo
KingRansom@reddit
I have had mosins and other war relic rifles but never a mauser. But I'm sure it's 99 the same general shooting experience. Even if you had a very small percentage of failures, without going and looking up current prices, it still seems to me that this is a pretty damn good deal. I'm sure somebody who belongs to a Mauser club that goes shooting together could do a group by
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
You actually don’t even need to buy the pallet! They sell it by the case (1005 rounds) for the same cpr
KingRansom@reddit
Yeah but just think of the possibilities of living in a place with a stuffy hoa, and leaving your garage door open to expose a pallet of 30,000 rounds. Priceless
adlep2002@reddit
It will feed that mg42 at full speed for few mins
joeg26reddit@reddit
DAMMIT
I just bought this exact amount yesterday

No tax to Massachusetts
Sky19234@reddit
It might cost less to place an order to an address in Massachusetts, fly there, rent a U-Haul, and drive back to whatever you live as opposed to paying taxes outside of Massachusetts.
Fluck_Me_Up@reddit
Imagine getting pulled over for a traffic violation though. Even though it’s legal, I’d hate to be the one trying to explain why I’m in a UHaul picking up 30k rounds from another state lol
goddamn_birds@reddit
It's medicinal
AnyProcess4064@reddit
"They're for personal use."
"But there's 30,000 rounds back there."
"I'm kind of trigger happy."
wadech@reddit
Simply tell him you plan to travel back in time to WWI.
SerendipitouslySane@reddit
At that point, I'd request pickup at their warehouse and save on shipping too.
BoogrJoosh@reddit
I hope it comes with a cool sticker.
Mysterious-Air356@reddit
Still remember back to day I grab two pallets with my brother from local pawn for 70 dollars
tyraywilson@reddit
CORROSIVE By the way....
BrewersFTW@reddit
MMI Ammo and their 8mm Mauser posts, quickly becoming a weekly staple on this subreddit.
Not trying to poke fun, as I indeed have need for 8mm Mauser. Finances currently are tight though. If the stock remains over the next month, I'll be placing an order.
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
They’ve honestly been a godsend since they don’t charge tax to Mass and new manufacture ammo at local stores that even carry 8mm an hour away is $1 per round
Tsar_Romanov@reddit
I’ve bought thousands of rounds of 8mm from them lately. Do you know if the 1005 round case they have up for 36 cpr is free shipping?
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
My last order said free shipping over $250. You can always add to cart and itll tell you.
DoctorVepr@reddit
One day we will be praying this dirty greek 8mm was still 36cpr and available
DoctorVepr@reddit
Free shipping?
Ambitious_Example518@reddit (OP)
Yes I believe they do free shipping over $250
InsertYousername@reddit
Holding for $9,480, certainly not BIN

This or one Barrett M82A1? No but seriously, if someone has a legit full auto MG42, this would probably be fantastic for them.
