Better jump on this one. They are good action and I suggest you look up to see what they're selling for in the Blue Book. Usually they're undervalued but to a Mauser guy, IMO, especially since you have to consider the added cost of alteration of the action, you'd have a keeper there if it's not beat to death. If you don't have a Blue Book, BTW,which is only a general indicator, go to a gun shop or pawn shop and take a look. The caliber you're negotiating is a great one as well.

Some purests-folks think they're Intertarms are an inexpensive knock off and they are I guess but Whitworths are in the same genre. If you can send me a photo and I'll tell you more about it. Also this forum is a library of knowledge, different opinions, so in the end go with your gut feeling. It's seldom wrong.
