3 years ago, you could find a nice M1896 in the $300-$350 range almost at every auction. Lately, I haven't seen a nice one go for less than $450 online at least. Swedish Mausers seem to be hot among collectors right now. There are enough out there that it might be better to spend the extra $100 to get once that isn't a parts gun.
Here's a lot of information about them: http://dutchman.rebooty.com/
I didn’t even pay that for mine, haha. For what I paid for this one, you might as well said I stole it. Every once in a while you get lucky.
But, of course it’s not a matching gun.
Also that link you posted is the one I got most of my info from. There is a lot of info on that site.
