Mauser Kar98k, Russian Capture
Sparks
8mm Mauser
Price $600, including 100 rounds of 1940 Greek Surplus ammo, and 10 stripper clips. --SOLD
NOTE: I have a Curio and Relic FFL, I need the buyers Driver License info for my Bound Book (See CFR § 478.125 - Record of receipt and disposition, paren (f))
1942 "AR" code (Mauser-Borsigwalde), the barreled action, bolt and bottom metal are Russian capture, picked up from RGuns when they still sold them. It is from very early in the year, no suffix on the SN, and the barrel has a lot number from 1941. The Nazi eagles are not defaced, but were not stamped all that well to begin with.
The stock came with a Yugo rework, and looks like a standard German red glue laminate. There are no obvious German marks remaining that I can see, but has a S/N is in the barrel channel where I would expect it to be on a German rifle. The handguard appears to be hardwood, and also has the German format serial number. The barrel bands and buttplate are un-numbered, the trigger guard is electro penciled with the S/N and the bottom metal is stamped with a couple different S/Ns and Waa63 Waffenampts.

It is a good shooter. I have posted this photo a few times, as an example of why you should handload, shot from this rifle:
Same rifle, same day, using a scout scope (in an bubbaed Gew98 Military stock), with handloads worked up in a different rifle. Yeah, I know I spelled Prvi wrong.
