Jack,

My '36 Mauser is a shooter because it has been refinished and the grips replaced. It is not cobbled up from a lot of mismatched parts. All parts are matching and it looks to be in great condition. However, it has been salt blued and everything is blue, even the parts that should be strawed. Therefore, it is not a collector.

That's great as far as I'm concerned because the price I paid for it was reasonable. (As I said before, I am a shooter not a hard core collector.) I should also note that it is tight enough that it must be cleaned and lubed after about 200-250 rounds, unburned powder residue starts to induce malfunctions.
