I was at the local pawn shop and they got a broom handle mauser in. I was checking it out and it looks to be a mismatched mauser. Serial number on the bottom was 101xxx the top was 107xxx I cocked it and the hammer just falls, we messed with the safety and tb e hammer still would not lock back. Played with the trigger, safety, push the top end back and forth and the hammer still will not lock back. The price for the gun when tb ey thought was working was $799 with a repop stock/holster. It may have been buffed years ago. No blue left and repop grips. If tbey do get it working is the price fair? They said they will have someone look at it but im afraid they'll get it to **** and sell it once it **** but maybe not correctly fix it. If the rifling is decent what's a reasonable price for a Franken gun? Thank you. Jim
