@Lucky what would something like that be worth currently ??

Also if anyone has something along these lines sitting locked away in a safe & is interested in selling to someone who not only appreciates them unmolested ,but will use as intended let us know :thumbsup:

A tidy Mannlicher in a modern caliber would be around $1000 to $1500 in Scandinavia, an old one in an uncommon caliber about half that. Unless its very special ( engraved, in its case etc) then it might be back up to $1500 ish.Mannlicher just seem to jave gone out of fashion.

Pre war Mauser Sporter in a common Caliber would be $200 to maybe $800 unless its a African caliber someone might really want. Its a crying shame that few appreciate the history and quality of these old Rifles.

Geez an old roughy with a useable barrel in 8mm or even better 7x57 would be nice for a couple of hundy.

Amazing , is there a lot of them over there and that affects the price or just people have lost interest ?

I think in some of those countries your only allowed a few rifles. Bit hard for collectors.

Its more of a case of the old guns not being popular. The Pre war Mauser are not particularly common in Norway compared to Sweden although there are a few about.

Mannlicher just seem to have fallen out of favour. If people have alot of money they tend to go for a Blaser with high grade wood.Newer Mannlicher even the delux models just sit for sale for sometimes years.If the Rifle is chambered in something not available " off the shelf" then its practically worthless unless some enthusiast buys it or it gets broken down for parts.

Its true that we are only allowed in Norway 8 hunting guns, that is undoubtably a factor in it.

I have posted this before but it kind of fits into this thread:

Pre war small ring Mauser, originally a Military Carbine made by Erfurt. Converted into a Sporter by Wolf in Austria in the 1930s.

Then rebarreled probably in Norway with a Kongsberg barrel and Reknagle swing off mounts and open sights with night beed fitted as well as a model 70 safety added.

Plenty of engraving, mint bore, came with a Swaro vari power with 30mm tube.

Paid less for the whole lot than what a bare Tikka T3 sets you back over here.

really nice @norsk , especially being a small ring as well , bottom metal and trigger guard look very much like a Brno 21 with the Mauser lever latch added , thanks for the pics

I use the swing off mounts more than I thought I would.If I am travelling some distance I remove the scope,or walking in for a long way the scope rides wrapped in some clothing in the top of my pack.I feel Rifles carry much better "bare".The open sights are surprisingly good,almost like a Ghost ring with the foresight floating.

Attachment 228766

Top to bottom:

1924 ish Model C "intermediate" action, rebarrelled a long time ago to 303, currently looking for a bolt for it
1920s Model B Kurz , completely rebuilt from a "no bolt" wreck by Dave Ward and rebarrelled in 6.5x47
1919 Model B Kurz, totally original in 8x51

If anybody knows of an "intermediate"bolt or a sporterized rifle (1903 Turk, 1935 Argentinian, 1909 Peruvian) with one I'd love to hear about it, the Model C rebuilt with a new 7x57 barrel in the proper profile would be very special and uncommon.

Nah it’s just the angle that photo has been taken , that Kurz rifles are surprisingly small and light , here’s one’s next to a 9.3 x 62 , it makes the K look small

Yep I think it's my phone pic,the k is about the same size as the engraved 66 in 3006,both feel very solid!,it's also more trimmer then my 7x57 brno 21.

Thats 5 kurz mausers in one thread. Wonder how many are in NZ.
12-07-2023, 10:00 PM

I know of at least one other, a Model B 250-3000, as new* with factory fitted scope - last seen about 10 years ago. Several people have tried to buy it over the years, no sucess.

* the owners son decided the stock was too glossy so sanded it down including the checkering, and rubbed it with virgin (not boiled) linseed, thereby converting what was probably a US$5K rifle to a fraction of that. Oh well SIGH

How many Kurz in NZ ? ….I have personally seen 9 , a few of those have gone to Aussie or SA now though , 2 of those were Type A ‘s , one of them was stunning with a scope and probably the nicest one I have seen , @Tentman I have not heard or seen the mint one you mentioned , bloody shame but it could be re-checkered and finished I guess and still be a bloody nice rifle .

Type B single square bridge. Bit of a beater. 30-06 Dinny Collings barrel on it that has a nice bore. Parker hale bases and trigger, with side safety. Classic no-kick recoil pad that was a bit broken so I epoxied it up. Bolt handle rounded off a bit for a scope. Action has been drilled multiple times for other scope mounts -poor thing. Barrel and 30's era bottom metal was well worth the $250 asking price. I added the edelweiss.

Cheers. That side safety is just part of the Parker Hale trigger, definitely not original
