A friend has given me a rifle to take to a gun show tomorrow to sell.
It is a Mauser in 22-250 with a sporter weight 24 in. bbl. Left side of receiver says "G.33/40". Top side of receiver says "DOT" and "1942" (those are between and behind the forward scope base screw holes).
The stock is a beautiful piece of wood with a very pronounced monte-carlo cheek piece and angled end cap line of darker wood. A similar cap is on the pistol grip portion of the stock.
Overall bluing is 95%. Wood is 95%+. Action is glass smooth.
Can someone give me some guidance on this rifle? He wants $400 out of it. Is it worth that? More? Should I give him four bills and keep it myself?
Thanks for any and all responses.

I'm just starting to learn about the history of Mauser rifles.

But from what I know the 33/40 Mauser action is very desirable. In fact, the action alone may be worth $400.

I suggest you buy it for yourself...

Your 33/40 Mauser was built by CZ in Brno Czechoslovakia. The Dot marking is the manufacturers code and Im sure you figured that it was built in 1942. If the rifle is in good shape and the sporterizing is well done than its fully worth the price your friend is asking:::::Multi Vis
