Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: Mitchell Mauser
Not much, if you are looking for a shooter they're ok, if a collectable piece not worth it. They are scrubbed, re-numbered (AKA forced matched), refinished, etc in the US. So they have lost their collectabilty.Ace3245 wrote:Been wanting to add a K98 to my collection. Have the opportunity to pickup a collecter grade K98k Mitchell Mauser. What are these things worth

Re: Mitchell Mauser
Don't forget it's also probably not even a K98k but more likely a Yugo Mauser their selling as a K98k. I.E I've seen one of their letters of Authenticity for a M24/47 say it's a M24/47 K98k authentic rifle. Or ya know this guy shows their misleading ads even. He also hits the nail on the head if you just have to have a k98k their ok to go with then but no value there at all. Outside of the fun of shooting atleast.

Re: Mitchell Mauser
As you can tell, a Mitchel's Mauser is not well liked in any collectors forum. They are a "HUMPED" Mauser.

Not worth the paper the letter of provenience signed by Otto von Scheisskopf is printed on.
Real gun control is the ability to hit the target.

If looking for a shooter buy a Remington 700.

Re: Mitchell Mauser
The ads for Mitchell Mausers are full of misinformation and BS. If I could buy a real nice one for $300, I would, and use it as a shooter. As far as "Collector Grade" goes, that is serious bull shit. 
GOOD RIDDANCE LGR!! If there isn't a gun range in heaven, then I'm going to hell.

Re: Mitchell Mauser
Do not! Would rather have a drilled and tapped bring back... And those are Bad lol
Re: Mitchell Mauser
It's that time of the year again.... As if anyone would ever pay 2 grand for a K98 lol. Also the image in said email looks oddly like a M48 they've monkeyed with.
Greetings!!
We have just found A FEW LAST German Mauser rifles and Pistols. We have made them available for purchase. We only Have a Few to offer. We have combed the countryside worldwide and it looks like these could be some of the Last German Mauser rifles we will ever have in our inventory. We have only a few rifles for those collectors who have been looking for a rare piece of history for their collection and have not been able to locate them yet. The last time I offered German Mauser rifles was quite a while ago. I believe you know how difficult it is to find a German Mauser in this condition these days. Our K98k German Mauser rifles start at $2,000.00.
We also have a small selection of P-08 Luger and P-38 Walther Presentation grade pistols for purchase. These are rare original pieces of history in excellent condition that should not be missed to be added to your collection.
You should call me direct ASAP if you have interest. These rifles and pistols are in excellent condition. I expect these last pieces to move quickly. This is a first come, first served opportunity. Contact me and I will be happy to let you know the status of our inventory of these last few available pieces of history. Please call me before these are gone forever.
Best regards,
Michael
