What is a Carl Gustafs Stads mauser worth?

jjmitchell60
Can any one tell me what a Carl Gustafs Stads mauser with a crestb on top of the receiver and also on top this:
CARL GUSTAFS STADS
GEVARFAKTORI.
1903
On the side of the reciever it has an H.R. and seriel number 130041 and in the right side of the butt stock there is a brass disc inletted with markings all over the disc. The rifle is in near mint condition. Any idea as to value and any history on this type mausers because I have about 10 of them. Thanks for any info.

    If the rifle your describing is the C G Model 96 Long Rifle. In factory original condition, all matching numbers, excellent bore per the data marked on the disc. My 2 cents is that it would be worth between $200 & $300.

    My guess is $150 to $225, depending on area and willingness of buyer.

    JIM,

    The $150.00 to $225.00 range is correct. Want one? I'll let you have it in the low range. Real low............lol. [:D][:D][:D]

    Charlie, I have 10 so that is enough being I have to sell these!

    Thanks to all that helped, these are 7mm and 3 or 4 of them have a very odd rear sight! The odd rear sight is not like the regular leaf/spring sight on most mausers but rather a dial type rear sight that has a center screw and a screw for windage. It looks like an item from a fine Swiss watch in a way. What type of sight is that called and if pics are needed I will take some?

    Again thanks for the info all.

    Those SHOULD be 6.5x55 not 7mm! Sure hope this is the actual chambering, otherwise, you've got a number of $50 rifles there! HA!HA! The rear sight you describe is made by Metalverken and is one of the "micrometer" sights that were used on the 96 and 38 models. These are great little sights and will command a premium of about $50 over what you would normally get for these guns without them. There are several target rear sights, of which the Metalverken is toward the bottom of the range price-wise, but make no mistake...they work well and are a massive improvement over the standard rear ladder type. Some of the other target rear sights are several hundred dollars on top of what the Metalverken type would command. Pick a nice one and keep it for yourself...these are fine rifles and PLENTY accurate too!

    These are regarded by many as the most accurate Mausers ever made.
    If you have one made in 1898 the value is double, at least.
    If you want to sell these, or want more info on them, a good place is gunbroker.com
    The guys there on the collector's forum are real Swede Mauser maniacs.
    They have a trading post where a lot of Swedes are sold.
    ps I didn't mean gunbroker.
    I meant gunboards.com, the collector's forum.
