SHORT Action Mauser '98
      05/07/10 01:56 AM

Directed to this forum from Accurate Reloading, it took me a while to realize I had registered here a couple of years ago.

Here is my original question and some information I added in regard to replies at Accurate Reloading.

Quote:

Saw one today. Heavy barrel chambered in .222, stocked in birdseye maple and wearing a Lichert 12x.

Nice 50's or 60's varmint rifle. I have never seen a short action Mauser. I called a gunsmith friend and we chatted, but he was unsure of the value though he did say they are rare.

I am putting this up in a couple forums here but what forum here would be best to ask this question on?

I post here rarely, so apologies if I should have put this elsewhere.

PS I did look for possibility that it was a welded action. I did not see any sign of this.





Quote:

I am a long way from home for the 4th holiday. I may be able to take another look at the rifle.

If we assume that I can determine it is an original kurz action, and not a reweld, what would the value on JUST the action be.

I'll judge the value of the rest of the rifle attached to it.

I'll ask if we can pull it from the stock tomorrow if I can get there again.

From memory, other things I noticed.

It had complete bottom metal, magazine fed.

"v76" or similar on side of action.

I did not see the s/n on any piece as I have noticed on military Mausers.

Appeared to have stripper clip guide.

That is all I can remember at the moment.
