What is a Mauser converted to .308 worth?

Well, It has been an interesting thread. I can see what happened here, and NELSON84, being relatively new at the Firearms Community, (he joined in October, 2012,) has been a bit enthusiastic in acertaining the value of a firearm he would have liked to have. I might add that I do not know him or have met him, but I can sort of sympathize with him right now.
Being sort of a "Newbie," he does not realize the amount of knowledge and experience many of the rest of us have available, and that, wanting to see if this rifle was worth it to him, and a bit of thinking that if he revealed just where it was, and it was a good value, then someone else would scoop it up. I think all of us can relate to that, because at one time or another, we have had good priced rifles scooped out from under our noses by some unscrupulous fo&*($ing As*(#)#(le.
However, I am sure that he has learned a lesson from all this, so maybe we should let him lick his wounds and bandage them up. When he heals up a bit, he will probably look at this in retrospect, and be a bit more forthcoming on his future posts.
So, instead of playing "KICK THE NELSON", and posting more negative posts, perhaps we should realize that errors in judgement can be made, and it is not our lot to mete out punishment.

I can't see the big deal here. The OP was just following a wise principle: "If you have a line on a good deal, shut up about it until it's yours". He just didn't know that possibly hundreds of people knew about it too.
I learned that lesson at 15. I had a line on a very nice '37 Ford Coupe for $300 and the owner agreed to hold it for me for a week until I had the money. I told the "nice man" across the street who was a member of the local car club about it, and he promptly scooped it from me by offering the owner more. That "quality" of person often comes in twos and there are plenty on CGN.

Oh no - more fuel. At least it wasn't your girlfriend, or the standard answer would be: "Get a new girlfriend" (and your balls back from her purse).
Some sneaky guys have employed the "Underground Firearms Acquisition Response Team" (UFART) for ideas on wife-avoidance schemes, but I'm not advising you either way.

get enough and she wont' be able to tell them apart, worked for me (for a while)
I have to apologize for my harsh comment to the OP.
That's too fancy, ill just sell my #### to a buddy for $1 if things go bad. Pick them up in a year or so.
Problem solved.
or put it in the dumpster at your local garage, have them shipped to a friend,or just bring her to the shoe store.
Or buy the occasional rifle for your wife.
Last month I bought an MLE mk1* sporter, while waiting for it to arrive I bought my gal her very own swede Mauser!! Worked like a charm and took the heat off when my MLE arrived in the mail.

The FR7 and FR8 were chambered in 7.62 NATO. That they were chambered for the CETME round is a myth. Failure testing showed that the rifles are safe up to pressures well in excess of the Nato round.
I have an FR7 that runs a steady diet of 7.62 Nato.
