    Ok fellas here’s another one , 1931 Kurz , these are short actions and were made on lots of configurations , eg , Type A with Kurz action , Type M with Kurz action etc , this one is a Type B Kurz in 250/3000 .
    Interesting history on this rifle is it was owned by one of the Tisdall brothers ,they had 2 consecutive serial numbered Kurz Mausers , the other rifle may not even be in NZ anymore , but if you have a Kurz check your number against my one .

    The Mauser Obendorf factory also made the first production run of M96’s for the Swedes. Not sure if they did commercial spotters on this action?

    I have a mil spec for mil shoots.

    short swede and norsk like this.

    @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
    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.
