[Sparkey]

I assume it's a mil surplus rifle. Looks like a train wreck.
What is it I know some of you guys have forgot more then I will ever know.
Thanks for help in advance

Gewehr 71 11mm maybe ?
looks good for its age... I don't know what they are worth but that's a project I would love to take on.
could be my lead in to paper patching!

I was going to go with a German Mauser of some variation, but not sure if it's a Gewehr 71.

"I.G.Mod.71" should be stamped on the rifle, correct?

Yes it is and this is stamped on barrel

11x60mmR Mauser or 43 mauser ? correct. I casted some bullets for a gun like this for a friend of a friend 350 grain flate nose IIRC. the guy never stayed in contact with the results. My friend says he has not seen him since either.

That is the manufacturer; the abbreviation at the end is 'waffenfabrik', or weapons manufacturer.

Bumping this it’s going up for sale but what is it worth $50 -$100 I have no idea gunbroker didn’t have much I could base it on this is way out of my wheelhouse

I think if you take you time fix the stock,and clean the rifle up you may find you have a nice piece of junk.Throw it on Gunbrokers with a start bid of $50,and let
it run for 5 days.
