    Carl Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori & Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf Mausers

    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.

    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.

    There are so many Swedishicon Mausers around in first-class condition that I would not waste a thought on one with a rusty barrel. The Oberndorf-made Mauser is much rarer, and if everything else were the same, that is the one I would go for.

    I was not really considering the rusted rifle, especlly since there are so many other rifles I would like to have besides it. The Oberndorf does interest me and from what I can tell $400.00 is a decent price. Just don't know if I want it that bad. I've been eyeballing a Winchester model 1890 .22LR project gun that's in need of help, zero blue, that looks like oiled and steelwooled to remove rust, but is all there and functions at $200.00

    I'd take that one too. Ammo is easier and cheaper.

    She's in really poor condition, and the seller won't flex on the price. But shes is one of the most interesting .22's I've seen in a while; I'd love to get inside her and see how she works.

    That's NOT really poor condition Bill, I've worked on far worse. If the bore is OK and doesn't need a liner then you're probably goo. For refinish, I'd bead blast to remove all rust and then paper polish gently until you come up to a 250 grit polish and shine. Then into a hot blue...the wood could just use a scotch brite and Watco oil I think. Once done you won't regret the money as it'll look about new. Lots of small parts but yes, they're a mastery of machining and engineering. I wouldn't sweat the $200...if it were nice it would be LOTS more.

    The bore is dirty, closet dust from the looks of it. Making it hard on me Jim LOL.... I was fascinated with the action and feed.

    $200 is a pretty good price on one of those.
    Buy it. If you have regrets, someone else will give you $300 for it.

    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.
