Erfurt Mauser?

[Hoyte]

What’s a good price for this?


”Mauser is flawless has all military proof marks comes with padded soft case and 2 boxes ammo. Will take revolver With $200”

There’s a guy wanting to trade his for one of my $300 revolvers +$200 so I guess $500 total. Seems pretty high especially for something that’s sporterized but I’m not super familiar with it and the value.

Don't know what kind of revolver, but he should be trading the Mauser and giving you $50-$100. If it were a custon build, maybe, but it's a military configuration in a relativelly inexpensive sporter stock. Depending on bore condition, that is about a $250 rifle, IMHO. You can't even return it to it's military configuration, it has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts.

I agree with @Oldschool shooter , this Bubba Mauser is 250-350 tops. You can't call a Mauser "flawless" in this state with a straight face. I'd pass.

For what it's worth, this weekend I bought this FN Mauser sporter this weekend, $275

$250 tops.......and thats assuming the bolt and receiver have matching numbers. Even so, Id have the headspace checked before shooting.

The ammo's worth a little bit - 2 full boxes is pry $50's worth - but that's a $250 rifle tops.

Walk away quickly.

If this is really an 7.92x57 small ring M98, it may have started life as a WWI K98a. That makes the bubba-ing especially hurtful -- owning one in this condition might set you up for some bad juju!

Bolt handle looks wonky as all get out. Maybe it's the pic... With ammo, no more than $300 cash. Or a straight trade with no cash depending on the pistol.

It is.
Theres no reciver ring step-down to the side rail.
And the 98 style bolt cocking piece. Its a butchered carbine.


Run. He's looking for a sucker.

Thought so. Thanks for all the info everyone.I definitely ran away from that guy.
