I spotted a 71/84 mauser on consignment at a local sporting goods store for $325. I have a good feeling I'm about to lose more money. but first, I'd like to ask a few questions.
first, Is this a good price on this gun. It's in pretty good shape considering its age. which brings me to my next question.
was this rifle ever reproduced ( say, by DWM for example) or is this rifle really over 120 years old.
And finally, should I even bother looking for ammo for this thing? Are there any companies that make dies and brass for it(11mm mauser). If not, I think I'm fine owning it as just a collectors piece.
Thanks for your time!!!
