Thread: Oberndorf Mauser

Thought some good rifle porn was required while in lockdown , so let’s start a thread on Pre-war Oberndorf sporting rifles , I’m sure a few of you will have 1 or 2 lurking in the gun cabinet , this is a Type A in 7 x 57 , made in 1929

@Lucky Beautiful,when l semi retire in a couple of years l am going to look for something similar or a Man-Licker as a retirement present & use it on a couple of Deer properties l have near the farm.

Currently have my old Mohawk l brought for my 21st in 82, waiting in line for a Old School Man-Licker style XX walnut restock & will be in the normal hunting line up.
@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

Graham Champion has a number of similar rifles for sale.

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.

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.

Got a rarer one @Lucky a 1927 Oberndorf Kurz in .250 Savage, I got it off a Forum member who might chip in, he has another 2 tucked away, hopefully he can put photos of all 3 up.
