I've known him for what seems like my whole life ) I know he'd be pretty bummed if he bought something that wasn't a good bargain, or, even worse, unserviceable. If you can get away for half a Saturday, we'd love to have you. ZatZLce4xS8rxDF8zz6fRfQqoz4 It is listed as full, but I've heard a rumor that there might be a shooter withdrawing (not 100% sure.so don't hold me to it). I would really encourage you to pick up a vintage rifle or two and do some shooting with them, even search out a vintage match. To me one old obsolete gun is 20 or 30 times more interesting than a Glock or an AR 15 (although I own and respect both).īefore my wife's health problems sidelined me, I really enjoyed shooting informal vintage rifle matches. Even if it turns out to be not such a good bargain, it might ignite in you an enthusiasm, even a passion for old guns. It really is a violation of the spirit of the forum. I feel kinda bad for offering such sensible advice. Many of them the factory and serial # has ranges that gets you an approximation depending on which one. More often it was the bore.Īs far as date, the serial # including any letters would get you an approximate date or date range. I have been eyeballing Argentine mausers for several years and almost always found something I did not like. There was another one there and it was $500 and had a crusty bore dark top hand guard was the only thing that looked out of place but I really had a good feeling. This was IMO an awesome price for it and I could not say no. Stock is pretty dinged up but that never shy's me away with something that is old and was in use. I think having my lovely wife with me softened him up. I was up in York and this one cost me $375 Was marked for $399 and he discounted it pretty quick to $37.
If I drove all that way with a bore light and didn't come home with it, I'd never hear the end of it.
Should I have bought it? Should I drive 60 miles or so back tomorrow, gamble on the bore and buy it?:banghead: From the above, does anyone know if it was probably an Argentine Mauser, and what caliber they are? The place was closing, so it was fish or cut bait. Firm price: $500.00, including a somewhat rugged bayonet (no scabbard). The Mauser (or whatever) crest was ground off smoothly. The wood was really good the bluing was dark, but it had a dusting of rust, as did the bolt. At one antique & consignment shop (which was closing for the day) I handled an 1891 Mauser, " MANUFACTURA LOEWE BERLIN," stamped on the left side of the receiver. The wife & I were antiquing today at some out of the way places.
