How's ammo availability and cost?

Availability is okay
At the closest gun store I had to order it but it was no hastle and the Amo is a bit pricey approximately $1 per round
I like it but I probably should have bought the 7,62mm mosin Nagant because the amo I cheaper
But hey this is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine!!!

I pay about $14/20 for steel case and $18/20 for reloadable brass for my 8mm yugo

fun shooter. shame you paid more than $100 for it though, ive never seen a spanish mau-mau priced higher than $150.
Did you get it LGS or internet or what?
Nice OP. I've got a 1895 Chilean Mauser here. It's pretty old and it's pretty beat up but it's been in the family for a while, so it holds a bit of special meaning to me. Enjoy your shooting!

A tad high for a Spanish Mauser, but you didn't get fucked or anything. They're nice guns. I wish they were a bit more interesting visually though.
Congratulations on your first rifle! I'd reccomend getting into handloading so that you will always have ammo on hand. There's an initial set up cost and learning curve but it'll pay off in the long run.

You won't have trouble finding 7mm Mauser, it's a very popular hunting round. But you will have trouble finding it cheap. I suggest reloading, for ALL military surplus calibers.
