Your pistol, shoot it if you want to; really doesn't matter what someone else thinks. JMHO.

$1000 isn't bad, but you could have had a decent original, but mismatched, shooter for the same cost. Parts will be tougher to find for the "new" mauser should you ever need any. Some original type parts may fit, but all will not.

Give us a range report when you have your first outing !
