Turkish Forester Carbine

Good afternoon,
What's the current value on these rifles? Anything to take into account as to owning one and what of the availability of its 8mm Lebel ammunition?
Thanks,

Condition, condition, condition. These are very nice and very accurate little rifles. They suffer from a three round enbloc clip. Those things are rare as hens teeth. The rifles usually show a lot of carry wear but have not been shot much. Almost all of the rifles I've seen, have worn exteriors and VG+ bores. Depending on condition, $200-$350

I agree with bearhunter, as for ammo, Your going to have to reload, brass, bullet and dies are all available. 8mm lebel is as powerful as 8x57IS. you can alos use the 5rd clip but it will hang out the bottom.

i've seen them from $50 to $300. i would say that $200+/- is about right.
