Value of a stripped turkish mauser?

[chutestrate]

I bought a turk several years ago to refinish, and never did. I got as far as buying another original stock for it and removing the hardware from the original stock. The original stock was unusable.

So now I have this mauser in pieces that I would like to pass on to someone else. How do I put a value to it? The stock needs to be fitted, finished, and all parts put back together.

Complete Turk Mausers seem to go for about $150ish from what I've seen.

You say you bought another "original stock" to replace the bad one...does this mean a used surplus stock?

If it's a used surplus stock I wouldn't imagine there would be much "fitting" to do. More like just reassembly. Sure you might need to touch a bit here and there.

It depends on the condition of the bore, the stock and metal finish but since most Turks are mix-masters anyway, having a mis-matched stock won't really hurt the value too much.

$100 in pieces, $150ish if you can get it together.

The collector buyer won't want the stock "refinished". A shooter might pay more for a refinished stock but probably not.

Hope that helps.

Probably close to zero. I'd think about giving it away to someone interested in tinkering with it.

I'd be interested in something like that because I need an action for my safari rifle.
