What is the value on a model 98 Mauser rifle?

Answer 1

$100 to over $1500, depending on specifics.

Some of the things which will affect value:

• Overall condition
• Whether your "Model 98" is the long (and more uncommon) Gewehr 98 or the short Karabiner 98.
• Whether, in the case of the Kar. 98, it's a pre-war or wartime production model
• Markings. A lot of the Soviet capture rifles were imported into the US by CAI and others, and have had the markings scrubbed, which negatively impacts value.
• Whether or not parts are matching.
• Whether or not it's a rifle which has been 'duffel cut'
• Which arsenal produced it
