This one is my favorite. I really want to make this one into something special. It's ALL matching, guard screw are intact. No rust or pitting, very little wear on metal parts. The rifle came with a nice walnut sporter stock which has moved on to a better world. The action is really slick and the machining is perfect, (especailly compared to the other two that I posted). I think that I paid around $150 + tax for this one.
I came really close to chucking this one in the lathe, but I resisted. Thought I would post it here first. If it's worth less than, say $300.00, then I will probably use it for a custom project. I want to build a DGR and this action is NICE. It was made in 1938. I was ready to start the project but it looked too nice to alter, that's why I purchased the other two mausers that I posted earlier, but I don't know if they'd ever be this nice.
So if someone can place a value on this it would help me out. The action that I really want is a VZ24 with the rampant lion crest.
Here's the SAKO that I built, I want to do a Mauser in similar fashion.
