thismortalcoilMexican Mauser question
Hello All, been lurking in the dark for awhile, I now have a question for the experts: What would be the value of a 1910 Mex Mauser stock complete with all hardware in very good condition and the barrel with an EXCELLENT bore and sights? thanks for the input, Greg

ClemsonI doubt that it would bring more than $50. The value without the action is much diminished, and the uncommon actions make finding an action to fit the barrel pretty unlikely.
Advertise on Ebay and take whatever it brings.

Good reply.....and I'd think $50 is tops.....
At a gun show it might be even hard to give it away.

TC1I sold a 1910 Mexican stock on Ebay earlier this year. The stock was almost perfect. I got $130 for the complete stock set. I was happy and so was the buyer. Then I sold the triggerguard and got $50 for that!
The action on this rifle was in fantastic shape and that's all I was really interested in, but rifle was $375. I thought I paid too much for it, but, after I sold all the extra's I think I did OK.

z1rNever underestimate the desire of EBayers to pay three times the value of Mauser parts.
Mexican Mauser parts and Swedish carbine parts sell for way more than they should. Particularly the stocks.
Stripped Argie 1909 triggergauds (no latch, no floorplate) were selling for right around $100 recently.
