Cool Mauser grips.

[pitfighter]

I'm in the UK currently.
Been seeing and inspecting lots of very interesting guns here.
My favorites are the MP44's, Thompsons and interesting Bren variants.


This morning I found this Mauser 712 (select fire) with it's nice UK import grips.
A cherub holding a Mauser with a dagger for back up.

It is 100% legally owned and it does fire in semi and full-automatic.
*Section 5 licensees can own these.

There was a post about these same Cherub type grips a few months ago...

that is really cool looking. I had zero idea that was available in select fire.

That was the real reason for the post

It has a high rate of fire - at 15 yards, with a firm grip I could keep 3-4 round bursts on target with the first round center mass and subsequent rounds spread out North.
Leaning into it, like a 40's tommy-gunner helped a bit, and literally tapping the trigger shortened the burst, I only tried for an afternoon, I dare say with practice you might find a technique.
Supposedly there was some recoil-benefit to shooting it "Gangster" style held sideways, I didn't try that.

I was looking at the date of this thread's start, and looking at it again, trying to determine if it was a re-post, a double-post, etc. having recalled the thread link you cited from some time ago.

Several years ago I came across these grips for sale somewhere, can't recall where, and almost bought the set just because I thought they were such a commentary of the times.
