Chinese mauser

[mitchell]

I just purchased a Chinese mauser for but don't know anything about them. All i know is that it is a copy of the Yugo m24. what is the average price for Chinese mausers? The one i bought is in rough condition but has strong rifling and i paid $125 for it. Did i do okay? Anything I should know about Chinese Mausers?

Actually, China purchased MANY variants of the Mauser spanning several decades and even built their own. It really depends on what one you have. Some of them are even German K98ks remarked as commercial models.

Pics would help. But if it's mechanically sound (perhaps see a gunsmith?) then it should be just fine to fire.

I'll post pics for ya as soon as it gets here probably next monday. There are a couple pics on valley guns still under the non restricted guns not milsurp rifles but no close ups of the reciever markings.

Are you referring to the Chinese Norinco .22 cal Mauser training rifle?

No, he's referring to an 8mm Chinese "chang kai sheck" mauser. It's a king od broad term covering everything from VZ24 clones to K98k mauser banner rifles bought by the chinese government to (unsuccessfully) fight the communists and also the Japanese (successfully).

Thanks ...

I couldn't find any pics he was referring to in the unregistered section at Valley Guns, just a Norinco .22 cal Mauser training rifle....

You have to search completed auctions for Mauser. It's the last rifle sold.

Last month I bought a Mauser banner Chinese issue. It's pretty much a 98K with a bunch of little snow balls stamped in it. I haven't shot it yet because of the kids soccer/baseball commitments. But as soon as time allows I'll be reporting the results-SDH
