    I like the Mitchells mausers. They are very nice looking and great shooters. They are advertised as all original matching guns, but they are really just reconditioned to look like that. At least it seems that way to me.

    The only thing German on the Mitchells are the Barrel & Receiver all else.......Yugo.

    The original k98s they have are usually Russian captures that have been refinished, not much collector value but it may or may not shoot well depending on how honest they are. Do you want an actual German made rifle or can it be of a different origin?

    MItchel you might as well buy a Yugo..........which might not be a bad option for your first Mauser and for a shooter.

    Otherwise gunshows, gunbroker etc.

    My father has bought a couple, I have focused on Persians myself.

    This guy has been posting a ton of Mausers (German and otherwise) though most are bringing premium prices. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=143893083

    I bought a Howa M1 off of him and he seems good to deal with.

    Those Sarco scrubbed Mausers are a good deal, around $220 each.

    aimsurplus.com has the czechs with the scrubbed receivers for pretty cheap.

    classicarms.us has germans with very little blu, shooter grade.

    If i was trying to buy a german k98, i would look at sog.

    If I was looking for a shooter grade WWII German K98k Mauser I would get a Russian capture.
    They are mixmaster refurb rifles but all matching unmolested originals are well over a thousand $.
    If you keep an eye on the classifieds over at GunBoards.com you will see one in good shape sooner or later.
    I see them on GunBroker and AuctionArms as well.
