My father has a .30 Gibbs he would like to sell and I'm not quite sure how to figure out what it is worth.
It's built on a walnut or other wood stock with a Mauser 98k action. It has a 24" barrel.
He stated that he thought it was worth like 10k, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the proper Mauser 98 for that to be the case. I think this Mauser 98k, is probably from germany and WWII. In fact his records show he obtained it from his Uncles Cousin (WWII) or something like that. Anyway, what are your thoughts?
It has been rechambered for the 30 Gibbs. He said he has the dies for loading that caliber too that go with the gun.
I'll get pics next time I'm around his gun safe. Oh, it has a scope on it, but I"m not sure what it is so, I guess it's best to leave that out of the equation for now.
So, what do you all think this gun is worth?
