German made "A" model?
#243665 - 12/03/14 01:28 PM

Please school me on a Shul? German made Mauser in 30-06. I have an opportunity to buy a barrelled action. What is a good price? Thanks

"A" model is an original mauser best grade sporter and so not made in Suhl but there are best grad mauser rifles from Suhl too

impossible to value the barreled action without pics

I have a couple of pics. It appears this rifle is a model b. It has the sliding rear sight, a charger cut out and the factory bent bolt handle. It doesn't have the mag well release, it has the military style.
It has very few markings left on it. And appears to have no serial number.
Caliber is 30-06

Condition is semi rough but possibly restore able. Value?

IMO there is only one detail in this rifle which is from civil mauser i.e. the rear sight but seems that it has been soldered later on barrel. Bolt handle knob is round military version, not civil pear-shaped.

If the barrel is in good condition internally, I'd give $150.00 to $175.00. For another $150.00 a RamLine stock will turn it into a hunting rifle - total $300.00 or less.

Or, you can buy a M98 Mauser made by Husqvarna from tradeexcanada for that amount - in 9.3x57, 9.3x62, 8x57, 6.5x55 or probably .30/06.

Of course that's merely my opinion. I see that as the beginnings of a hunting rifle only.

Yes it's I rougher than I had hoped. The markings appear to have been ground off as well.

It almost looks like an attempt to copy a model b but things are not quite right. The seller said it was a model a.

Yes it looks to be a military rifle probably a k98 that had the rear sight changed. Unfortunately I see sellers often saying they have a commercial or original Mauser sporter and it turns out to be no such thing. The first thing to look for is the pear shaped bolt handle.
