    Gotcha, there was one (missing the bolt though) at auction up in Forest Hills, MD a few weeks back. I was a bidder, but someone else who knew what it was (it was listed simply as a "Polish Mosin") bid it way up (still under the full value though).
    I mean without a bolt I'd hope so. You can just find a bolt for it

    Take a look at the bolt head on your new 8mm Mauser Polish carbine, then compare it to a std Mosin bolt head. Big difference. The problem with the missing bolt is that finding a replacement will be pretty much impossible. I remember someone paying a huge sum for a Polish Wz. 91/98/25 some years ago only to find it came with a std 7.62 x 54R bolt. No bueno.
    It was fun to watch the auction and I know someone over on Gun Boards who restored a sporterized Wz. 91/98/25 who would have loved to get his mitts on it (it's possible he was the high bidder). For anyone else the odds are good it'll never be more than a wall hanger, unless they can find someone with an original who's willing to loan them a bolt to generate dimensional drawings from and eventually a machinist to fabricate one (not possible to rework a std one to 8mm).

    Been trying to buy this from my friend.
    S&W Model 1 Second Issue, s.n. 89895, 22 Short Black Powder.
    Made 1865 or 1866. The nickel plating doesn't show up in this picture, but it is about 99%. Grips are original (sn stamped on the inside of them).

    Swiss 1897 Kadet Rifle. All matching and beautiful condition.

    Brazilian 1908 Mauser in 7.62x51. I can’t find anything about it. It’s short and looks like an arsenal job. Bubba didn’t have a hand in this.
