Thanks for the info!SeventiesWreckers said:That's a tough one to answer. They were pretty common in the 1960's. Surplus stores had them for sale in trash cans. But the actions were universally popular to build custom "sporterized" rifles on. So they gradually got more & more scarce, and expensive.
Gun broker usually has a couple, and if you have time to look, one pops up every so often out of an estate sale. They just aren't "surplus" anymore, a pretty sought after weapon.
Here's a link to Gunbroker.com Good luck, you might find a deal somewhere.

I've seen them in ads in certain gun magazines.... I can try to track them down....Thanks for the info!
I kinda figured that but I have always heard people say the Mausers are the best cheap rifle. And that you could find one for 100 bucks!
I always wanted one. Just never got around to doing it.
The cheapest I've seen is like 350 bucks. I don't mind paying that price. I just thought I'd look into these people's assumptions.
Id appreciate that! Thanks!series11 said:I've seen them in ads in certain gun magazines.... I can try to track them down....
I'll keep looking. I want one to make into a nice little hunting rifle.SeventiesWreckers said:They are a great rifle. And they do turn up from time to time. You might get lucky.
