    No pics, yet. Saw one with a sporterized stock, no scope for $350 the other day. I didn't get to handle it so I can't guess at the condition or if it had any interesting markings.

    I've been searching for info on them and would buy it to restore back to wartime condition. Just trying to figure a decent offer in these insane times and wondering where other than evilBay I can find a stock and other parts for one.

    I have a Brazilian converter 30-06 FN Mauser as a companion gun.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jamie

    I'm going to go against the grain and say it is closer to the right price if it has not been really hacked up.

    With the CMP Vintage Sniper craze, there is a whole new market chasing these once despised rifles. More demand = higher price.

    You are going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to sell you a completely functional .30-06 rifle for $250. Its worth that in basic parts.

    That's not that bad depending what's on it most have been drilled and tapped and barrels chopped. No scope is a good thing.

    Get some more info and pull the trigger

    Let me know what you find out just bought one may be able to help a little

    like anything else sporters vary in quality, rarity and price.


    original NRA sporters are worth up to several thousand dollars for example
