Background Information:
The Mosquefal M968 (MQ M968) is a variant of the earlier 1908 DWM Brazilian Mauser rifle; it is lighter in weight with a shorter barrel, curved bolt, and larger cartridge.
The M908 was chambered for the 7x57mm Mauser cartridge, then popular throughout Latin America. The M968 is chambered for the 7.62 x 51mm NATO cartridge, to allow compatibility with the FN FAL, the Brazilian service rifle. This model is manufactured in Itajubá, Minas Gerais by IMBEL.
The name is a portmanteau of mosquetão and FAL, noting the bolt-action rifle's compatibility with the ammunition and accessories of the battle rifle.
This firearm is used in various auxiliary units of the Brazilian Army. The M968 was developed from the Mosquetão .30 M954 (.30-06 Springfield) now in disuse in the Brazilian Army) which was rechambered and issued with minor external modifications. The MQ M968 has features similar to the M964 7.62 (FN FAL), allowing use of the same ammunition and rifle grenades.

Excellent sling for the money, would buy again.
The mags work well, nice and solid with a good strong spring.
I tried the Milsurp (Military Surplus Ammo), 308 (7.62x51 Made by ADI Dated 1979, recently purchased from Magnum Sports at Roseville.
Today 25/08/2026 I fired some and these went really well.
Each shot was well placed in the group.
So at the price I Paid at $15 for ten (10) Rounds, these rounds are great.
It just goes to show that Magnum have come through again with their pricing.
For value this Bipod works well. The Nylon Feet are a bit smooth, but by putting on Silicon or rubber feet will be a good fix.
Overall, the Bipod works well, easy to adjust on the fly. The steel is well crafted, legs all extend well. It has Cant too. So at the price paid, it’s s bargain. Come down to Magnum Sports at Roseville, and pick one up.
And while there you are sure to get another great bargain there as well too.
The guys were really helpful in sorting out a pistol for me and sending it to my closest shop up here in QLD. I would definitely recommend calling and having a chat or drop in if your local. Thanks again guys.
These are the best projectiles. My lithgow 102 topped with a leupold 6HD 4-24 scope with the custom dial is set for these projectiles. I shoot nothing else. They are accurate enough to out shoot others at the range and I can confidently drop a deer out to 400 odd meters with one shot. Highly recommended projectiles
Outstandingly accurate projectile, very consistent base to ogive dimensions across the 6 boxes I purchased. Less than 0.002” variation across the entire lot. Devastating projectile on soft, thin skin game like fox. Perfectly suited to short 22” barreled 22 Creedmoor with muzzle velocity in the 3400fps range.
