Description

Set of five 8mm Mauser (8×57) dummy rounds / snap-cap / fake bullets.  This cartridge was the standard rifle cartridge of the German military from 1898 until the end of the Second World War.  It’s effectiveness was world renown and was used by many other nations, including Great Britain.  The US military used it and its counterpart, the Gewehr 98 Mauser, as the basis for the 30-06 Springfield cartridge and 1903 Springfield rifle.  The 8mm Mauser was used in the Gew 98, K98, MG34, MG42, FG42, M48, and many others.

Great for safely function checking, as an addition to your re-enactment kit, or display with your fine piece of military history.

Available with spent primers remaining, empty primer pockets, holes drilled in the cases, or rubber inserts added to the primer pockets.

    Exactly what I needed to show my folks how to properly handle a firearm without fear of accidental discharge.

  4. Matthew Aubertine (verified owner)

    I’m using these on a Belgain FN Model 30 mauser and they are a bit tight. It could be the rifle. Overall, very happy.

    We let our students load/unload as many different types and styles of firearms as we can reasonably provide. Having a dummy round for an old WW2 sniper rifle makes things a little more fun, and it engages a wider audience. It is always neat to let a student pick their own firearm to load/unload.

  12. Christian H. (verified owner)

    Smooth, perfect fit.

  13. Anonymous (verified owner)

    Paint rubs off on my hands when I touch them, will probably all come off eventually without some kind of coating or additive. Overall fine product.
