    Mauser M/71

    Hey Guys,

    How hard or easy is it to come by these in decent condition ?? Yeah, I know, "depends on what you call decent". It is 50% bright ( not real shiney, kinda dull but not grey ) with the balance a light brown patina. Bore and chamber are bright and shiney. The stock is a nice antique dark brown. Not anywhere near new, but it doesn't look like someone used it for a hammer or boat paddle. The usual dents and dings, but not covered with them from end to end. Everything is nice and tight. All serial numbers match but for the bolt stop and butt plate.
    Yeah, I know, " we need pics! ". I will try and make some in the near future, I'm at work right now.
    What kind of price range ( not an exact value for this particular rifle ) do they usually run in "decent" condition ??

    Thanks,

    Emri

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Quite a few M/71 rifles and cav. carbines are in surprisingly good superficial condition with good, clean rifling as they were not in service for long and hardly saw active service. Brownish barrels and some orange peel dimpling of the upper action is to be expected and is partly due to the manufacturing process. Values might well depend partly on where manufactured (Spandau, Amberg etc.) and the carbines come at a markedly higher price (rifles were sold at ridiculously low prices in the US until a few years ago). Numbering of all (even the smallest) parts is essential. There is very often hidden rust under the wood and this would decrease its value. Of course, prices over here in Europe would hardly be relevant in the US, so it would maybe best to keep an eye on the US auction sites.
