If anyone can help identify where this was used that would be great.
I'm thinking Romanian if you have any idea or advice please feel free to share it, would be a great help. Thanks

Alright after researching the sighthood (that part looks Czech made) i think it's a Czech captured rifle, does this seem accurate? And if so is it somewhat desirable or very common?
Re: First mauser. New k98, Help identify where it was used
"Captured" when it comes to these post war used rifles is a very broad term. Many nations were just given stockpiles of these things after the war. Hard to tell exactly where the rifle finally ended up (besides your collection that is).
I would say it's probably in the same price range as a Russian Capture.
Very nice rifle regardless.

Probably didn't do to bad then, I paid $300 even, and the bore is nice so it should make a decent shooter. nonetheless this one will probably stay in my collection forevertarget wrote:"Captured" when it comes to these post war used rifles is a very broad term.

Awesome that's good to know, I've seen different styled stock markings but couldn't find the origin of the numbers on that side. Thank youdesdem12 wrote:Stock is yugo number style. Nice price

Check for numbers in the barrel channel and on the butt by the pistol grip. A lot of times the yugos left the numbers there and renumbered the butt like that is on the bottom left butt. Also the front sight hood is a vz24 hood that someone put on after importation.
