350 will get you a K98 in good condition. People have such boners for K98's nowadays that they are going for a pretty penny in good-excellent condition. I am not sure why, especially since most of those 8mm mausers all shoot the same (accurate and well).

 

I would get some more details about it. Numbers matching, buttplate/bolt (they look polished?), matching wood...

 

I would offer $250, highest $300, depending.

 

Check out gunbroker if you're looking at 8mm's. They have some nice ones on there and won't rip you a new a-hole on the price. That's where I got mine.

i asked for numbers and more pics....we'll see

I dunno if you're only looking for an M48, but Aim's got some VZ's that have been known to be great rifles. I myself was looking at getting one:

I would say it's high - $300 probably is top end for Yugo Mausers right now. If you're patient, keep your eyes open at gunshows or on forums, you could probably pick one up for $250 or so. Sarco has a bunch of them right now for $250 or so, but they are not a nice as that one.

I purchased one of these, very nice rifle..

ideally id like a german K98, or some kind of captured K98. i dont like the straight bolt on the VZ.

 

he said he has no other pics, and claims to be numbers matching. ill offer 250, see what he says

Those Sarco Mauser's are in, what I would consider, fair condition at the least. The worst part is they are asking mid $200's-low 300's for them when you can get a good-excellent condition Mauser for that much.

 

I know you said you want a K98, I did too when I first got into Mauser's, but there are so many that you can always start collecting them and in the future look at K98's. People tend to start with the cheaper Mauser's, then work their way up. Impact has M48's in, but you have to call them for a price request. They have some 24/47's as well but those are straight bolt. I've bought numerous things from them, great honest company.

If i was you, I will wait until this weekend(got to OAKS gun show first) and if you cant find anything there, then get it.

Surplus rifles prices are going up in prices. 1-2 years from now $300+ for a Yugo will consider a bargain.

Same thing happen to Mosin's(M38, M44, 91/30), K98's, Swiss rifle(K31, K1911)

I saw few people here selling k31's for $350, Mosin's 91/30 for $140, K98's for $550 etc and i had a sticker shock.

 

**Edit**

I just saw the wideners site and I guess the "new" prices for the Swiss rifles are $325-$400, so getting one local for $350 is still a bargain!!!

he claimed he has more then the 250 i offered in the rifle....whatever that means. he also said 'i dont think its been shot' which is physically impossible. maybe not shot since being refinished, but there is no way its never been fired in its life.

 

what about the K98s at wideners.....are these prices reasonable:

I personally would let this go, considering you can't inspect the rifle before buying it, it should be less. You can most likely find a better deal somewhere else.
