Mauser M80SA: Actually a High Power and Actually Hungarian

Our book on Hungarian AKs, "Rifles on the Danube", is available here: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/d... In the 1980s, the Mauser company was completely adrift, without any real plans or goals or good leadership. They had been trying to get by on relaunched old designs, and not been very successful. By the late 80s they move on to just buying guns from other companies (like Renato Gamba) and relabelling them as Mauser. One of these partnerships was with FEG in Hungary. In 1990, Mauser contracted with FEG to buy Browning High Power copies. FEG had actually licensed the high Power design from FN back in the 1970s, and was already tooled up for production, so they just added a Mauser roll mark and called the gun the M80. It was a straight copy of the High Power, except for the omission of the magazine safety. Production ran from 1990 until 1995, with only 3,200 made. The gun did not sell well, which should be very surprising - this was a very outdated design by the 1990s and the Mauser name just wasn't worth much as a value-add.   / forgottenweapons   http://www.floatplane.com/channel/For...
