I have no experience with them since they were interordnace back in the early 2010s. Keep in mind those came from Ethiopia. Get on the empire arms mailing list. Dennis Kroh was at the big show and was buying. I bet he will be posting a new one soon. He doesn't sell junk.

Pretty nice looking Turkish Mauser in the classifieds now at a cheap price.

The turks are still affordable, although it may be a long wait for them to be collectable.
However I said similar things about chinese AKs years ago when they were 200 bucks fresh off the boat ...

I have owned a lot of mausers and the reality is that most of them have ugly bores. The rifling will be dark. The wood stocks will be dark and banged up possibly with cracks.
That being said the worst condition Mauser I’ve owned was a Turkish Mauser. I will never buy another one.
The yugos aren’t bad but some folks frown on them.
Your best bet is to get a Mauser from a non ww2 participant. Swiss for example. They didn’t party with the rest of the world and they seemed to take care of their rifles better.

Avoid Turkish mausers

If I ever come across a Swiss Mauser I'll buy it.

You realize there are no Swiss Mausers, don't you? K-31s, 96/11s etc..are fine rifles. Not Mausers or even similar though.

People refer to a few Swiss rifles as Swedish mausers and vice versa.
Excuse me.
