Got that right but it’s value as art is hard put a price tag on. Whom ever built those sporters the dollar value could be priceless. I’m reminded of a sporterized Mannlicher I saw about 30+ years ago in a pawn shop. Stamped into the barrel and I’m paraphrasing. “To my beloved son Christmas 1965. Kinda sad thinking how it wound up in a pawn shop but to the father that sported it, it was priceless. I just can’t remember much about the rifle other than the high polished bluing that caught my eye. The hard core military rifle collectors that desire everything to be original. We are probably perceived as weirdos. The very hard core collectors in my gun club never use the word sporterized or a phrase like sporter project, it’s butchered or cut up. The only sporterized Mauser that I ever saw get any attention was a K98 left hand conversion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
