U-Fix-Em's?

I was looking at Century's U-Fix-Em page today and saw some pretty interesting pieces. How hard would it be to repair one of these guns? It sounds like a pretty interesting project, might even be able to to turn it around for a profit or make a good rifle out if it. If I did get one it'it's probably be one of the VZ-24 7mm Mausers. Has anyone ever got one of these as project guns? Not saying I will, just might be pretty cool.

Thanks,

-Mo.
 
I think about those u fix em's now and then, but I know I'd be peeved if I got a rifle without a bolt or something. Sight unseen? No thanks.
 
Mo, how many are you going to buy?
Might be to your advantage to buy a half dozen or so and get one or two good pieces.
 
And how are you going to test it? I havent seen 7mm Mauser loaded ammo in any store in a while and taking 30-06 cases down to 7mm Mauser I am thinking would be tricky 8mm not so much.
 
Depends on your skill level and how much time and money you are willing to invest. Rather like "restoring" a firearm Bubba has gotten hold of.
 
Mo has a local Academy Sports I think and the one I work at does carry 7X57 Mauser.

Consider that you are out your money if they are beyond your abilities to repair and it would be illegal to buy them (especially multiple) with the purpose of turning a profit. Considering you are a minor, legally getting one might be tricky, since giving money to a family member night constitute a straw purchase. It would have to come from them as a gift. Just my understanding
