pick up a copy of shotgun news at barnes and noble. you can look thru and find all kinds of deals on mausers. But, you will have to go thru a local gunshop to purchase it. Most shops will let you have a copy of their ffl to send to the place you order from, but will charge you $25.00 to do the paperwork once the firearm arrives.

People have "seen" them........ and that's now past tense. No more I'm afraid. You can still find them under $100 at some gun shows, but the prices are climbing.....
A few years ago we were buying them from distributors (I hold a ffl) at 5 for $140 bucks including shipping. Yes, that's $28 each and some had broken parts or minor cracks and were absolutely full of nasty Cosmoline grease.
Still, you could get them at shows for $60 from dealers. I bought one this way for $59 because it had the best wood and bore I had ever seen on a Turk and it is a Gew 98 conversion and is one of the best shooting rifles I own at 300 yards.
Join the forums at Surplusrifle.com and you will occasionally see guys selling them or trading them from their collections. I have about 8 "collectors and shooters" and still have 10 in Cosmoline, but I'm hoarding those for future trades, sorry.
The best MilSurp value now has to be the Mosin Nagant 91/30. Still under $90 and plenty of good cheap ammo available, unlike the 8mm. Get a couple ordered to your local FFL wholesale and then sell one to a friend for a profit.
If you were looking to build a custom sporter on a Turk, you are much better off using a Czech VZ24 receiver, IMO, as the Turks came in Mauser 1893, 1903 and later versions and these rifles have been through hell and back, used in service with Turkish soldiers for 80 years that were not exactly trained on rifle care and maintenence.

Never believe everything you hear or read; the price of everything changes as time goes by. I have some silver I paid fifty cents for that is now about fourteen dollars an ounce; I have a new in the box nickled 45 Colt auto, series 70, that I paid $150.00 for a few years back; now I notice that they are listed for sale at $ 1,200.00. I wish I had my 56 Chevy with a 283, stick and overdrive back in my garage; I saw one a few weeks ago with a 30K price tag on it. I even have a turkish mauser I bought for $ 50.00 several years ago; last one I saw advertised was for $ 275.00. Keep going to gun shows and you might get lucky.
