>What the fuck happened to $500 (if not $400) max?
People started paying $501. Then $502.

Then $503.

An $504.

$505...

>>35002606
I'll give you $506 cash

what are the cheapest mausers?

>>35002673
Spanish M1916s or Chinese Copy K98s

>>35002479
No more RCs coming in, so prices have increased accordingly.

>>35002845
But literally double the value?
What the fuck

Don't like it, don't pay it. If enough people have that opinion then the price will drop. How much is up to the sellers but that's how the market works.

Everything goes through a cycle: First it's the new hotness and expensive, then it's common and moderately-priced, then it's obsolete junk and cheap, and finally it becomes a "classic" antique and starts getting expensive again. I remember when you could get good-condition Apple IIs for $25 at thrift stores and Atari 2600 carts for ten cents each at flea markets. Now you have to fight collectors for the privilege of paying eBay prices for them. Such is life.

Milsurp has now passed into the classic antique phase. Enjoy the last few examples of relatively cheap milsurp guns - Spanish Mausers, Polish Makarovs, Romanian Tokarevs - while they last, because they won't last long at all. Once they're gone, the days of cheap milsurp guns will be gone with them, and won't ever be coming back.

>>TFW you know Mauser will never make new K98s to meet demand..

I got a russian capture 98k for $300 last year. the gun store thought it was a yugo.

Nazis came back and they're really anal about being period correct.

>>35002479
Only 4-500 were the Russian captures. Matching rifles have been 1k+ for years now.

>>35004172
Yea they'll charge probably 10-20k for them if they did make them though.

because america is now racists as fuck and love nazis because drumpf

>>35004172
You mean like they did in 1998?

I've seen some byf42 matching for 500

How much do not-shit-and-not-necessarily-matching 1903A3's go for nowadays? I really want a friend for my garand

>>35007943
>matching
M1903A3s only have one serial number: the one on the receiver. I'd say $500-700 is a decent price.

Welcome!

Nazis are back in style like white skin. What is old, is now new again. Sieg Heil!
