98k?

Yep!

I suppose if it was in anything other than 8mm there'd be a horrible gunsmith out there that should be forever shamed.

Agreed.

No cleaning rod?

No, one of the few things it came without.....

I'm drooling.
This is absolutely awesome!
What's the date on it?

I can't tell. The foremount for the scope is right where it would normally be dated. But from the overall design, it looks mid war.

Great score!
Original riflescope too, right?

Yes, and matched to the rifle, which is nice!

ooooooh, cool!

Already have my eye on a WW2 russian sniper as a companion.

We'll get you a Purdey some day!

holy shit dude....i am so jealous of you right now. K98's are so wicked.

Where's the bayonet mount on this Mauser? Or are the sniper versions minus the mount?

Actually correct that. I know the lug should be there. You seem to be missing it or took it off. Looks odd without one being there. Nice rifle either way though...

Currently looking for a nice original to replace it.

I see you finally got yourself a real gun. :P

Incidentally, I'm on the other side: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/8299983/

I have a whole bunch of Boltguns. A bunch of enfiields, as a matter of fact, Britt, Canadian, several variations of Ishapore, a near perfect jungle carbine, my fave boltgun is the #1 mk3 smle.

Sterling stuff! "Smelleys" are SO much better than Mausers

Well, you do get twice and many shots, yes.

So, the interwar one. Mine (well, not actually mine, just the one that my character has) is the WWII No. 4 Mk I.

Almost depressing that so many military firearms today look and sound like toys, compared to what came before. For example, this video compares an AR-15 to a Moisin-Nagant M44. The difference is quite impressive, to say the least.

Then again, since Kalmbach is a naval officer, he would point out that any such guns would be irrelevant next to the USN 16"/Cal. 45 Mk. 7. =[^].[^]=

Excellence! A beautiful vintage piece!

Somehow missed yer comment, yeah, its got its bayo lug now, and I bought another Tokarev rifle.

Very nice. Someday you should make a spreadsheet of all the items in your collection. See how many pages it takes up. :-P

Looks like a late model since it doesn't have the cleaning rod or bajonet mount, nice buy

There are provisions for both, they are merely missing.

Need a german 98K, 303, and a springfield to finish my WWII collection.

I just need an original 03a3, and a type 99.

*drools* wow what a beauty :O

A buddy found an un-numbered bayonet lug for it, so all numbers still match!

awesome :3 i am so jealous right now i want one too

I have an extra Tokarev rifle I am taking to the gun show tomorrow, I have a nice G/K 43, and several Mauser K98.
Also love Mauser 96 selbstladepistolen, a P38, Pistole 08, other German stuff.

Is this the Siamese variant?

Nope, this is WW2 German issue. I have since put in the missing bayonet lug, which is un-numbered, thus the gun the gun is still matching numbers.

Aw yes, the german Kar98 sniper. It's a beautiful rifle even without the scope, just a beautiful rifle and I see the scope is mounted on the chamber and not on the side.

There were several variations of the KAR98 Sniper. I havent seen an offset scope for some time. I will be selling this one soon.

For how much?

3k.
