I'd like to use this rifle for wildboar hunting - so the collectors worth is a minor issue.
Non the less, I want to own a pretty decent K98.
The stock looks pretty good which caught my attention.
All the other available rifles have have a much more "used" look.

This last one also looks interesting:

Well, these look nice.

The first one is a spanish model 1943 mauser with bayonet. Note that the bayonet is the same one that they cut John Rambo with in the first movie when he is tortured in vietnam.

The second one looks like a nice Gew98b, some sort of upgraded Gew98 done in the 1920's Export model mauser, cant tell the country without seeing the crest, many possibilities although not in the calibre, to lazy to check all of the hundreds of models of mauser in my books to find out for you. Edit: probably a turkish model 1903 mauser. What little that i see on the crest seems turkish, the calibre also is correct.

The third one looks like a mid production K98k.

All 3 look good to me.
All rifles of this era should have a used look, they went through a war and over 70 years of lifespan.

Thanks for your advice.  :)
If the third rifle is in good condition for shooting (clean barrel and working system) I gonna buy it.

If you gonna use it for hunting

dont you goddamnit dare, to alter the rifle in any way...

The only thing we can accept, is a non-permament scope mount, the ones mounted on the rear sight ladder.

I would like to emphasise what TheTa said. If you modifiy it, you will find yourself castrated with a dull butter knife  ;D . On a more serious note, I hope that you will enjoy your new rifle!

We absolutely, do not support sporterizing here. Not even COld war era firearms should be butchered like this. We can embrace NON damaging modifications. But thats it

Well, it is not in my mind to modify a good old K98k.   ;D
There are tons of rifles out there which already have a scope mounted and will cost less than modifying such a rifle.  ;)
But this is another story and going to far off.

Well, the prices seem really democratic so no complains there, let us know what it became and share some pictures.

Today I called the shop, if they still have the K98 rifle and they told me, it was sold 3 weeks ago...  :P
Maybe I can grab another one. My neighbor has a K98 sniper which his father kept after the war was over.
Otherwise my search goes on...

Found something else for 250€

Because it is. It can be made wartime, and never used, or used and then refurbished and put in the arsenal.
Most russian weapons that you buy are in perfect condition. Not a dent or a scratch.

Honestly that one looks like it was refurbished by a past owner. It appears to have had the shellac removed and replaced with some kind of oil finish. Looks nice but isn't consistent with the Russian factory refurbs I've seen.

Speaking of Russian rifles, I took my Finnish M91 out to the range today. My friend brought his M44 carbine. Good times were had. Video below ...

WW1 era Italian model 1891 bayonet with brass and leather Scabbard. Still looking for one with full steel Scabbard now for my WW2 dated Cracano. Also i still need a model 1938 bayonet (folding, non folding, don't care) also for the m38 Carcano.

Carcano thing are hard to find here in General.
