Looks like mine.

What does the brass disc have to say?

$300-$350

Well - There was a pile of them brought in the country about 10 years ago, so they're not exactly rare - probably the most common of mil-surp Mausers. At the time, they were about 100$.

Swede value

Very nice ones up $300-$350 at shows or the EE. Most all Swede's have been re-furbed at some point and you'll encounter "like-new" ones quite often. Great looking example there by the way.

Damn that is a fine looking rifle. If 350$ is the going rate for something that nice I may have to get one.

Have fun getting ammo!

6.5x55 ammo is common around here.

+1 on the $300 - $350 estimate.

And ammo isn't a problem either.

Lots of Igman econo soft point available out there.

Nice, M38 BTW....................

+2 on NAA's comments. I bought mine (which wasn't as nice) for about $130 in the early nineties, and definitely do not want to ever sell it! I got an M96 in the summer of 2005 from someone off the board for $225 shipped to my door, but in retrospect think that I got a great deal for even back then.

Ammo's not too hard to find, since in addition to Igman even the major suppliers (Win, Fed and Rem) have begun producing this ammo since they arrived in such large numbers years ago.

And besides, if there's a rifle worth reloading for, this is it (along with the Swiss K31 of course, lol).
