Nice!  If that's the rifle you picked up it looks like you scored a beauty?  How much if you don't mind me asking or which shop?

[Biggerhammer]

Here's a general idea on how to put a value on it. Depending on the condition and what you paid for it, you could have scored big! Great piece of history either way.

You certain about it being a .270??  Looks like everything so far says it should be a .30/06.

I would verify that before I thought about firing it just in case.

@ Bofire and @ Biggerhammer neither of those worked but thanks I will let y'all know what I scored it for when I can find out how much its worth don't wanna feel ripped off

Is this a 98 Mauser that was made into a sporting rifle?? 

rebarreled, military sights milled off, new trigger group and safety?

can you post a pic of the entire rifle?

[Blacktail Sniper]

On-line found these pics, Johnson Automatics, semi-auto top pic and Mauser 98 bottom pic.

Which one looks more like your rifle?

Man, it's not even my rifle and i've been combing the net for at least a half hour reading stuff, talking about an amazing read and lots of good info.  I don't know if it's the original or not but to learn some piece of history about this rifle and it's maker has been exciting.

Looks a lot like a Mauser 98...

    Explains the .270 instead of being a .30/06. 

Curious why it is marked the Johnson Automatics though....
