Arties shoot nice. Especially with the shoulder stock. In hand, I find them a bit awkward. A six inch barrel, by comparison is very handy. This is just my opinion. YMMV. There are available, Interarms Mausers in 6 inch for around $12-1500. Some, like mine, need the magazine springs worked on though. There are folks on this forum who can do that. So before investing in an expensive antique, I'd suggest looking at the Interarms that are available.
