    Amberg Mauser 71/84 1877

    Hi all! New to the forum and Mauser collecting.

    A local gun shop has an Amberg 71/84 for sale on consignment. Want's $350.00 for it. I'd like your thoughts and comments. How do I post pictures?

    Thanks in advance.

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    If it has not been altered, is in fairly decent shape and isn't missing any parts, you better grab that for $350. If you aren't sure, better post some photos. Cut off switch is often broken but they make repros so not a deal breaker.

    Most are in decent shape and price works. Post some photos, get yourself educated BEFORE you buy.

    Good morning oh learned ones! Had a good nights sleep so I will now tackle the instructions for adding pix of the Amberg 71/84 Mauser, following the "stickie" about how to upload pictures. What's the easiest way to show multiple pictures, 10-12?

    Thank you all.

    Amberg Mauser 1877 Purchase? Pictures

    Here are pictures of the Amberg Mauser for sale locally. I have him down to $300.00. I would love your reviews, comments, and thoughts as to whether it is a good buy? What your valuation of the rifle may be etc. I look forward to your responses.

    I can't seem to get more than two pictures to the post. I'll add more in the next post.

    Thanks a heap!

    Need more photos than that, preferably a full length one, good photos of the significant markings. Any cartouches in the wood. The end of the rifle showing the stacking rod, magazine cap. $300 an even better price IF it's in original configuration and not beat to crap.

    I know for me in Canadaicon I would buy it for 300$. I am not 100% sure it is actually a M71/84, from what I can tell it is a M71, which was a single shot. From what little I know, I believe the M71s are rarer, though I could be wrong on that (at least from what I have seen for sale it always seems to be M71/84s for sale in Canada very rarely the M71s show up).
