    Went to a LGS today

    As the heading said, "I went to a local gun show today" and Saw a Mauser that I don't have as yet!
    The Mauser I looked at was a Colombian Mauser carbine, with matching numbers in 7 MM.
    Nice looking rifle , BUT I hate it when I am in doubt with the price. I can tell a steal or over priced, but when it's in between is when I get leery. What do you folks think at $500.00.

    Thanks for your comments

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It wouldn't take me long to get my $500 out and buy it. I collect depression glass and the one thing I have learned is, if you see a piece you don't have and you don't buy it, you may never see that piece again. Then it becomes, should have, would have, could have. JMHO

    Aspen,
    That does sound a fair price for a good clean rifle. Do it, otherwise you'll have restless nights, or at least get the sellers details for a follow up
