Wear is part of this rifle's honest description: the seller reports pitting on the metal and age-and-use marks on the stock. The rifle is a Mauser made by Waffenfabrik Oberndorf, marked A/N 1899, in 6.5x55mm Swedish, with a 23 inch barrel and a five round magazine. A Williams peep sight has been installed.

A rifle like this is in the middle ground between collector and shooter. The pitting means it will not command a collector's price, but the action and the cartridge are good ones. The 6.5x55 Swedish round is known for accuracy and mild recoil, with long, high-sectional-density bullets that hold their energy well. It has taken a great deal of moose and deer in Scandinavia. Ask your dealer to look the rifle over at pickup; a second pair of eyes catches small things early.

The Williams peep sight is a practical upgrade over the old military notch and makes the rifle more pleasant at the range.

It is sold as described. The rifle ships to your chosen FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
