I paid about $165 for the same rifle and the accessories. A buddy had a Curio and Relics license and he didn't want it anymore. It's in great shape. I tried it out during the Freeper rifle competition. I didn't do so well and the rifle kicked pretty hard at the prone position. You can buy 8MM for a good price but it has corrosive primers.
Ok, you broke the ice.
Guys, Mitchell's Mausers are probably the most overpriced
items you can get.
Yes they are Mausers, they are Yugo M-48s and as shooter
said you can get them for around $139+ if you look in
Shotgun News.
Better yet, learn about getting a Curio and Relic license
for $30 from the ATF and have those dealers deliver them
via UPS right to your door.

the guy paid $500.00 for it and needed the money.
i also picked up 210 rounds of noncorrosive at $15.00 on 70.
if it was a Mitchell, i take it that was a Collectors Grade... Mitchell's has three grades: Collector=$300, Premium=$500 and Museum Grade=$1000. you got a great deal.
What FREEper rifle competition? Then we should also have a FREEper hand gun competition!
