    .43 Mauser carbine

    A friend recently got a 1871 Mauser .43 single shot carbine. It's in great shape and i'd like a rough value? Sorry, no pics.

    If it is genuine, and not a cut-down, then 1000 euros upwards in Germanyicon, depending on condition.

    Thanks for the feedback, Patrick.
    Any info from Canadaicon?
    Like value here and I believe this gun is considered an antique here and is not required to be registered. Is that true?

    There are so many that have been sporterized, that 9 times out of 10 when someone mentions one it's been cut down. Replacement stocks are non-existent.

    In Canadaicon, if complete and unaltered, I'd say $700+, depending on condition.

    I don't think it makes the antique status in Canadaicon! New Black powder ammunition is still available but other reasons to explain firearms laws in Canada are beyond human ability.

    It's an antique in Canada.

    Antique status has nothing to do with ammunition availability, it has to do with age, bore size, magazine capacity, and centrefire vs. rimfire.

    Canadianicon antique rifle: A rifle manufactured before 1898 that is capable of discharging centre-fire cartridges, whether with a smooth or rifled bore, having a bore diameter of 8.3 mm or greater, measured from land to land in the case of a rifled bore, with the exception of a repeating firearm fed by any type of cartridge magazine.....still am not convinced the M71/84 is an antique. I just purchased one from a Quebec resident (where the LGR is still in place) who informed me they ARE NOT classified as antiques.

    This thread is about the M71, not the M71/84 - they're not the same gun. In Canadaicon the M71 is an antique, and the M71/84 is not.

    Single shot rifles are antique, magazine fed not so.
