I wouldn't, simply because I prefer the aesthetics of the Mannlicher-style stock on the
Enfield. Also, I'm betting the Israeli Mauser wasn't originally chambered in that caliber,
whereas, more than likely, the Enfield was.

So what kind of sights does the Mauser have?
"...the Mannlicher-style stock on the Enfield..." It's not a the Mannlicher-style stock on any Enfield.
"...looks like someone cleaned it up nicely..." Wouldn't say 'nicely' myself. Should not be shiney like that. Worse if the finish is polyurethane though.
Israeli Mausers were K98's made by FN after W.W. II. 1948ish. Seems there are some people on the assorted auction sites who think they're worth far more than they are. One guy wants $1456 for one that has been heavily refinished. Most run about $400 and up. Condition is everything. So is what comes with it.
Indian 2A1's were new made, not conversions, in the mid 60's. They run about the same or less, as the Mausers. A repro mag from Gunparts runs $54. Much less from other sources, but those may or may not work properly.
Oh and Mausers have the same type of rear sight. So you'd be trading a 10 round .308 for a 5 round .308.

It seems that the decision has been made for me. I stopped by to see what he would sell the Mauser for so that I could keep my Enfield and he has decided to keep it. Before anyone gets on me for blowing a good trade, i hadn't talked to the guy for a while and he probably made this decision before I made the post
