    Well that is a good start, at 50% the restricted value. What would an all matching good to very good C96 commercial (no military markings) go for? Am I right in thinking it would sell for $2000 up...

    Looking for help pricing out a handgun.

    I suspect this rifle has been re-bored to 8mm-06. It seems to be the only plausible explanation for everything.

    8mm-06? I thought that was guys with Mausers after the war wanting to use an 06' casing for their 8mms.
    Is there any other test I can do? Would a local gunsmith be any help here?

    Hi guys.
