Portuguese Mauser-Vergueiro m/1904/39 Rifle

A look at the Portuguese Mauser-Vergueiro m/1904/39 rifle in 7.92x57mm (8mm Mauser). These rifles were manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in Berlin, Germany prior to WW1. Originally in 6.5x58mm caliber they were reworked to the 7.92 round when the Portuguese adopted the K98 Mauser rifle in 1939. An unusual rifle that combines Mauser and Manlicher design features.
