Metal is so pristine. From a GB auction.

not sure why a lot of them were that way. Mauser man has this one now.

Wow

They were never issued to troops; kept in war reserve. Hence, mint matching condition.

I too have one of these...anyone know approx value?

My tendency is to leave it as is rather than use for a custom

Odd that metal in that condition would be in a non-matching number stock? Here is a similar one recently sold at auction for $1,285. Also, non-matching stock.

This one is titled as UNISSUED, offered at $1150 with a BIN of $1250. title - FN Mauser 30 7x57mm Venezuela.

I noticed that.

Could very well be they were taken apart to be serviced during storage.

Then the armorers just grabbed what ever stock was handy.

Military's care nothing about collector value just getting the job done.

Duane: Saw three at around the same price range as this one, this being the nicest one. Fair retail is probably closer to $1,000.
