11 days left and 17 bids allready. I expect it to get over bid.

Too many people watchin the auctions

Id scrap the bolt handle, shroud , and trigger , probably the barrel too.

Yea, but all of those things together might bring $100. Also, that bottom metal looks an awful lot like 1909 Argentine bottom metal, which makes it worth $75 or more!

22wrf, $75 for the argi bottom metal . Wow. I just passed on 2 complete argentine mausers for $150 a piece cause they both had bolt face primer pits.

I must be a cheap, picky SOB beer beer

I am watching that one also, I'm afraid it will quickly be out of my price to value limit.

1934 "post office" rifle, similar to the Standard Modell, a military configuration built to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles, see Ludwig Olson page 183.

Everybody on this AR board is CHEAP. Big Grin

By the way, pits on bolt faces are easily welded up with a tig welder. Where are those two Argies located, and will the seller make a deal on them?

Is this not a "Banner" Mauser. It appears to have the banner on the front ring. Now that being said, where did the other parts come from?

I wish they still had the original part! That would make a nice period rifle. Timney trigger with Sunny Hill shroud?
