Hello! Welcome to G&G! While I collect WWII rifles, I have yet to buy a german Mauser. There are many here that do, so you should make new friends quickly! Again, welcome to the boards. P.S.- I do have 2 Swedish Mausers.

Well, it would probably be a lot quicker to tell you what is good about them, but since you ask -
They started with Russian Capture rifles and have refinished them, have had the ser nrs restamped so they match and new made stocks put on them. They also polished the bolts.

They did have some rifles that they have not dicked with that they are selling for more than you can buy the same rifle from others for less $.
The last I knew they had an F rating for customer service from the US Better Business Bureau.

thankyou sarge, for the information about mitchells mausers,well i'm stuck with 2 collector grades,an 1 real big mistake, i bought a premium grade one with a bnz factory code made in the city of steyr....ok hate to say this now 1400 dollars, tell me this will be worth something some day

oldhorse50 · 02-11-2008, 07:02 PM

looking for a site, that will give u all stamping information on the 98k rifle, i did find one,thought i booked marked it..damn......they gave the s/n an f/n numbers.....stampings on right side an left side

lefty o · 02-11-2008, 09:14 PM

id really have to see the rifle and inspect it (if we ever get pictures back). if your premium grade has been rifinished, and looks like the ones in mitchells ads, it'd be worth about $150 in the real world. collecting guns is not something to jump into without first knowing what you are buying.

hopefully , we'll get pictures back and we can give you a better evaluation of your rifle.

From what I've seen they are way overpriced. And they tend to be a bit misleading with their advertising.
