I am needing to find out the value of what appears to be a good condition spanish FR8 mauser chambered in .308. The guy who is wanting to sell it to me says the bore is good, but has some minor pitting and the bolt matches the receiver. He also told me that the furniture looks good / decent as well. I normally don't deal with or play with bolt action rifles much, but I've always wanted an FR8 and I need to know a fair price before I go throw down the cheese for it.
I have pics and will post them shortly.
What's a fair price??
Thanks in advance!

Ignoring some trial weapons, (Model 1891 and 1892, pretty much identical to Turk 1890 and Argentine 1891) the first Mauser adopted by Spain in quantity was the Model 1893. This model marked some major milestones.

All of these were done back when it was cheep to do. I also have a Howa 1500 action to instal a barrel in. And a Mini-Mauser I barreled in.223 using a.220 Swift take-off barrel. Jan 19, 2015 Imported Model 1893's (from Germany and Belgium during the 1890's) usually have the Spanish crest and year of manufacture on the receiver bridge as well as the manufacturer designation on the left receiver wall.

Over the years I did work on it, bought a bolt for 20 bucks, pulled the barrel and stripped the old rusted up blue off and set the head space to.004.
