I managed to get a beautiful 1908 Brazilian Mauser for $450 at my local gun show about 6 months ago. I believe it was made in 1910. Besides the marks from where it was dropped or sat on the ground, you would never guess the thing is 110+-years-old. Brazilian crest is in beautiful condition, only ever so slight faded in some spots. I love how it says, "United States of Brazil," which I believe they dropped way back in the 1960's. Everything is original, except the bolt. The stock is in impossibly great condition, I thought it had to be a replacement. Nope. Even still has "7MM" carved into it. Incredible shooter. Accurate, with very little recoil. It's become my second favorite gun, just below my Russian Makarov. I don't think you'll be able to find one in that condition for under $500, though. The guy I bought it from said to me straight up, he knew nothing about it. He made a trade with one of his friends, and the Mauser was included. He was just looking to get rid of it because he had no room for it. I would strongly advise any Mauser fan to buy one if the opportunity presents itself, so long as the price isn't outrageous, of course.

My favorite surplus rifle has always been the Mosin m44. Partly because you used to be able to get them for under 100$ everywhere and if you know what you're looking for .you can't find a straighter shooting rifle. There's a reason the top snipers in history used the Mosin. Simo hayha the highest scoring sniper in history had access to mousers and Italian rifles and pretty much anything he wanted...and he still used his old iron sight Mosin. My second favorite used to be the 617 Argentine but those aren't really surplus anymore lol. I can't remember the last time I seen anyone get a bulk order. More than 20 years ago now.

I’m sure it was done fairly early after the war and these guns weren’t really expected to be that collectible,,,who knows?? Dust cover is gone,which isn’t surprising, guess the Japanese got rid of them quickly too noisy,,turned down bolt handle, wood from the top has been made into design in the stock. Whoever did it did do a nice job but wished it was original. The person I bought it from had no idea what it was and I didn’t pay much for it. I’ve read that some were rechambered to 257 Roberts.

They shoot great, are very accurate, and a couple are rather hard hitting (the Mosin especially, it's been trimmed down to a 16 1/4" barrel). But the Carcano can be difficult to find ammo for (PPI is the only place I can find 6.5x52mm ammo for it), but recoil is rather mild and it is a pleasure to shoot.

In my experience Moison Nagants vary in quality but most are easily upgradable. You can float the barrel putting a thin shim between the action and the stock and carefully grinding out the hanguard and finished is not noticable. When buying one look at the muzzle as it was common to redrill the barrel to correct crown problems. There are aftermarket triggers but many are corrected by making sure the trigger screws are snug.

I got a sporterized 1891 argentine mauser carbine for 330 dollars, it's a beautiful gun that works well but the ammo is scarce so I kind of regret buying it due to lack of ammo I hope I can find somewhere to get the ammo. If anybody knows where to get some ammo please tell me. Edit: sportsman's warehouse recently restocked their ammo and I bought some, I've seen other places that say they sell the ammo for $15-$20 but they don't have it in stock and how legit those sites is questionable, so buying it for 28 bucks is good for now.

If you can find a 1903 pattern Turk Mauser, buy it. its German made, best shooting Mauser I've ever owned(I've had dozens over the years).

When it comes to barrels I only care about rust, pitting, and erosion. I don't give a shit how dark the bores are. I've also have had great accuracy out of rifles with dark bores.

I've just gotten into collecting the past 4 years since my father died. I've yet to see any M1 Grand (of course I don't really know the years or quality) for less than $900

Went to a huge gun show last week and about crapped myself when I saw the prices. Mosins for 800 mausers for 900 enfields for 1000. You could buy a brand new ar cheaper than the old surplus stuff.

“If you can get it to run right” does not give me any faith in the Carncono especially since it’s a bolt action. Shouldn’t take much effort at all to make a bolt action run well.

Got the Carcano (40 bucks) carbine with no folding bayonet, got the Mosin's one is said to be a Dragoon 1900 date with the double headed eagle(80 bucks), another 1936 dated (60 bucks), the third is a carbine with folding bayonet made in China (110 bucks) because hard to find a Russian made one and the story was a green Beret brought it home from Vietnam after popping a VC who was carrying it (no paper work to prove it though). got two Turkish Mausers in the two different types in original cal, got both with the same price 120 bucks all together, but had to buy a bolt for one for a hundred with bayonet. all rifles are in good condition and not refurbished!

Prices are a lot higher here in Hoosierville of the modern times, always expect to at least 50 percent more or higher for all firearms and ammo.

IAM a country boy from Louisiana, hunt, fish and collect gun, I never was into new gun , I enjoy older guns. I didn't think much about military surplus but I found myself buying Mausers, Enfield's, krags, sks Czech v 52 and swiss arms the 1873 Winchester and 1884 trapdoor. It was easy to accumulate and trade off gun and not realize how many you had. The only concern I have is if we as a nation don't get a hand on gun control in the form of the damage done in our communities and school and where big business controlled reasonable access to us buying ammo. We will be in trouble should the enemy come.
