I looked at a 71/84 yesterday in very nice condition. I ended up with a chance to buy it and I am not sure. I have decided to hold my collection to Hungarian rifles and handguns. And some new stuff. We all need limits.
Left side of receiver stamped JG Mod 71/84
Barrel stamped 10.95, chamber area is hex. Full length barrel, not carbine
Appears to be a tube feed magazine loaded from the receiver.
Bore is massive and pristine. Appears to be all original with no signs of import marks or any rework. Stock is varnished or similar sealed finish.
What cartridge would this rifle fire? Are they available?
I see a few rifles on gunbroker in similar condition that are asking $1500 plus. I know the dealer that has this paid pennies for the rifle and I think I can get it for a couple hundred
