Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori & Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf Mausers

[usabaker]

I ain't the only one Bill, I'll bet the bore is about perfect, some older ones were ratty but most .22 are good. He's right, I'd take that gun right now without hesitation just for a user.

The .22 bullets are outside lubricated, meaning rust in the bore can only be from neglect and water, if at all. Probably only dirty with cupboard dust clinging to the lube inside. I'd take the .22 over the larger calibres.

I'll give the shop a call on Tuesday when they open back-up and have him hold it for me.. You guys are a bad influence...

Nice shop usabaker. I live in the wrong end of the state. Have half a mind to send to $400 so you can have both.

Hope it's there, love to see it on the expose' after the purchase. I'd love to have it myself. I saw a rough example in .22 short, would have been a gallery gun. It was way up around $900 CDN asking...

I've got that 1890's grandkid, a 62A. Big fun. I agree with the others here.

I recall clearly having a Winchester 61 and a 1906. Both were flawless and went through more than their share of ammo in far less time that it took to load. A friend had the 1890, neat gun.

Stopped by the gun store to pick up some rifles and the owner pulled out three Mausers and offered them to me for $400.00 each. The Spanish Carbine rechambered in 308Win was of no interest to me but the Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori & Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf Mausers did, although I don't know that the 1912 Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori is worth the price.

He's not planning on putting them on the sale shelf for a week or two so I have time to mull them over in m mind... so many other rifles I want to get.. and $400.00 hmmm...

The 1912 Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori has closet rust in the barrel that is easily heavy and liberal, no pitting from what I could see but lost of surface rust on maybe 15% of the barrel mostly in the first 8 inches from the muzzle, must be more under the wood. I is all matching, no import marks, missing the cleaning rod, bore is clean.

The 1988 Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf is super clean more the blue is near perfect. No rust on the blue, a bit on the bolt minor, all matching numbers, clean bore, nothing missing. Does have import marks near the muzzle.

Considering Italian prices, I'd jump on the Oberndorf one. Without a second of delay.
But here prices are much higher on many milsurps...

So many guns, just not enough money I was just at his shop and he still has them. There are other rifles that I'd like more so if I get the Oberndorf I can't get the other which is another Garand.

Took everyone's advice and went back to his shop on Thursday and picked up the Winchester 1890 .22 Slide Action. (get a lecture from my wife when I told her after the fact) I couldn't get him to go lower than $200.00. I cleaned the bore and it's dark but still has rifling so I wont need to sleeve it. I'll put it on paper with some subsonic next time I'm at the range. Here are some pictures I took today before taking my wife to pick Persimmons, 60 pounds of them and my purchase is all forgiven

OH.. he just got in a 1903 Springfield newer receiver with a 1907 barrel. It looks like its been Black Oxide packetized mish-mash of parts. $900.00 nice shooter not much more then that.
