Disposing Long Gun

[khiball]

I have a old long barreled straight bolt Mauser 8mm, stamped with CS.ST., ZBROJOVKA, BRNO on the end of barrel. The gun never fired and I was told Head space check? Ive had it 10+ years and wondering if its worth trying to sell or just get rid of it, if so would it be best to take it to sheriff or gun shop. I live outside of Grand Rapids if anyone is interested.

Any gun in just about any condition will always be worth at least $100. I'd get some pictures and list it for sale before taking it to the police to get destroyed. Someone will take it.

Just disclose the issues. Someone will buy it.

Even if it doesn't shoot, rusty bridge gun, etc. it's got value to someone who would make a hanger out of it for a wall piece or something.

Definitely sell it, with out seeing it, commonly 200-300 dollar rifle or more condition being everything. Just the intact mauser action is valuable. Czech mausers are well regarded.

Mauser's have a big following. I'm sure someone would like it as is or for parts. Head space is "generally" a concern when the weapon has "none matching' serial numbers, but still doesn't mean its off. Just as anything else in life, YMMV.
