Mausers were the most common rifle in the world until the AK-47 showed up. You can get a German WW2 Mauser in good condition for about 200 bucks. Turkish and Czech Mausers are a lot more common though, and go for about 100-120 bucks. It's a pretty fun gun to shoot, but it definately has a mean kick. My friend once said he always wondered why German soldiers always looked so grim in old photos, then he shot a Mauser and found out why.
