Horsefly Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Brother brought me a 94 yesterday to sporterize. He thought it was a cut down 96. Stock had been cut though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Is it a short barreled 94 carbine? I don't know what your brother payed for it but, you should take a look at what they are going for on ebay before you start sporterizing it. For reasons unknown to me, intact Mauser rifles have become too valuable to sporterize. IMHO, unless you just really want a sporterized sweede, I'd buy an old Remington, Savage, or Ruger to customize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Here's one very similar, non-matching, sporterized that sold for over $400: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/929466446 Yeah, when a Spanish 93 sells for $400 and a K98 for $800, it is just hard to cut them up. Even a Turk will go for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Over the years I have amassed a collection of various mauser rifles with the idea of supplementing my retirement by building sporters. When the inflated cost of new barrels, stocks, triggers is taken into account I will be well ahead financially to just sell the rifle to another collector. That said, I have 2 rifles in the works now, a 416 Taylor on a commercial Zastava action and a 257 Roberts on a 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Yep, 17” barrel carbine. Unless they come on market for 100 bucks in near future, this’un is just for rubbing on and admiring. Someday I may luck into uncut stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
