Wow! Some real beauties here! I've got a question for the experts, how do I learn or where do I go to learn more about this stuff? I'm interested in getting a good shooter, something I don't really need to be super careful with because it is collectible, but I have no idea what to look for or things I need to avoid. any ideas?

Best advice i can give is stride for these things when picking a Mauser

Matching serial on bolt and receiver.- This Usually means the head space will be ok. Many mausers have Lots of numbered parts, try to make sure thy are all the same numbers as that will mean higher value than one that is not matching.

Clean shiny bore. Most have had some corrosive ammo shot through them, many where not cleaned properly. Look for a good bore and good rifling to the end of the barrel.

before buying do the bullet test if you can. Turn a round upside down in the muzzle and make sure there is a good amount of bullet between the muzzle and case of the of the round. IF the case is very close to the muzzle or if it is resting on the Muzzle.. walk away. ( below is a pic of a Good barrel on the G98/40 I just got)

You can also have the selected Cal Bullet and do it that way, Here in this pic, you see one has room between the crimp and the other on the left the crimp is in the barrel. the barrel on the left has seen better days.

If you can find a Mitchell's Mausers gun for a good price, then that'll certainly work for ya.

Thanks for all of the great advise! I will keep all of this in mind while I search. I do have a question about the bullet tip thing, would a snap cap work? I just feel like some shops would frown upon it otherwise.

I dont see why it wouldn't. If you are just checking the muzzle wear, ive even asked for a round at a shop and was given one to check, but I usually frequent shops so they know me.

I do not have the budget to frequent a shop enough for them to get to know me well. (Just don't have the budget.) I think Hafer's would be the shop who I'm most familiar with having been there a few times for parts and some revolver work. I'll ask them next time I'm in there just to see what they say. No harm in asking I suppose, it's still great advise either way.

I realize I forgot to post a Pick of the Honorary Mauser.. I posted a pic of the one i used to have early in this thread. I had a G98/40 before that while looked good.. it had sanded stock, frosty dark bore and was mismatched.. I sold it to a dealer years ago for 580.00 and i kept the sling. he then stuck on his table for 850.00, Nice matching ones are worth double that..

About 4 weeks ago i bought another.. All matching, not sanded, nice bore, shiny with very little frost. Again.. Not really a mauser but German owned and damn close.. Ill give it the Honorary clause..
