M98 Mauser prices?

Lol. @VertigoBE was bidding against you on that one I think. It stood out to me as a gun that would sell under value. I think the stock has enough meat to be reworked into a righty English stalking rifle without using the extra blank.
Actually... a wise man told me it would be a lot of work to have the stock remade into a more British style stock... So I did not bid on that :D I kept my bid's for the Crudgington and the Merkel 12ga, but both went far above what I was willing to put up. Actually during the entire auction, many guns and rifles went for far more money than I thought they should have gone.
 
Was also thinking that from an "aesthetic" perspective, a wood rasp would be a good place to start. :E Shrug: :E Angel:
I would start with a bandsaw and then the rasp etc.

I got it at the opening price. No other bidders. Rookhawk is correct, it’s a left hand stocked rifle with a spare blank to make a right handed stock. As I’m a lefty I’ll probably take a wood rasp and shave the Monte Carlo style stock off a bit :rolleyes:. The sale of the Swarovski scope will recoup a lot of the outlay I hope.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
