Used in rough shape, and the seller is plain about it: the rifle shoots, it just looks rough. This is a Mauser 1895 in 8mm Mauser, with a 28 inch barrel, a five round magazine and a blued finish.

At the lowest price in the group, this is a rifle for someone who wants a project or a shooter without a collector's price. The 1895 is an early Mauser pattern, and the action is of a design that was later improved. Old actions deserve a careful look, so have a gunsmith check headspace and the locking lugs before firing.

If the rifle checks out, it can be a fun range gun. The 8mm Mauser is a mild round with a long record. Its recoil is not hard, and the long barrel gives good velocity and a steady feel.

Expect scratches, finish loss and other signs of heavy use. If you want a clean rifle, look elsewhere. If you want a cheap piece of history to clean up, this one fits.

It is sold as described, with all wear. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, and the background check takes place there.
