7.62X51 or .308 Mausers

[TAB]

You can get a m63 in 243 308 and 3006,   they are just about $500 bucks.  which is a shame.

TAB, the "Tanker" Mauser is also NEW MANUFACTURE, since the Germans never actually produced such a weapon. Their tank crews were armed with sub machine guns and pistols.

Are you looking for a collector's piece or a low dollar good shooter with cheap ammo? Two different animals.

Low dollar good shooter with cheap ammo. I might even go with a Mosin Nagant, but I would replace the stock before firing it.
The ones I have fired seemed to kick worse than the .300 Win mag I had and weighed more.
SKS would also be possible, but up here they are running around $450 and 7.62 X 39 has doubled in price.

Get an MN for $80 and 800 rounds for $150!

Classic arms is bragging on one they have with an ugly stock (cosmoline stains)but a basiclly  unfired barrel. I don't know if its still there, but they only want $99.

I figured they were.  Seen a bunch of them at gun shoews recently.

 Something I meant to post for BM last night, but forgot. The Mausers in 30 - 06 that blow are are fairly easy to Identify they are called 03 Springfield's.
It has been known for a long time,the early production had some heat treat mistakes that led to brittle receivers. There is a specific serial number range that should be available from NRA, American rifle has mentioned it a couple times and it may be in a back issue of Shooting Times.
IIRC (?) it was the first 250,000 from Springfield and the first 20,000 from Rock Island.
