I would hope the seller will demonstrate that it fires safely, before you take possession.

That gun has already been through a lot!

I did tell the seller I wanted to shoot it and he didn't hesitate. He told me it shoots fine and is allowing me to shoot a few mags through it.

I'm also going to do a tear down and inspect, especially since the bolt block is different and 20 years older.

The manual I was using had prices range from $650-$1200, so that wasn't helpful much, especially since I'm guessing it was a Mauser.
