Re: K98 with gew98 receiver conversion

Looks like a parts gun to me. With that said there are examples of Gew98 receivers that were recycled into K98k configuration

Re: Steyr Gewehr 88

Was the reciever in the white or blued? If not Turked ie no arabic or moon markings $400 seems fair.

Re: 1909 Argentine Mauser Rifle

Junk Yard Dog wrote:Oh yea, considered the nicest GEW98 rifle the Mauser factory ever made. I scored one of the unissued '09's many years ago, an exceptionally fine rifle, very high build quality. Nice find.
I would agree with that. The quality seems a bit better than my 1904 Gew98.

1909 Argentine Mauser Rifle

I bought this one as a gift to myself for Christmas. All matching including the cleaning rod, B-prefix serial number, bore is minty and the action is the smoothest of any 98 Mauser Ive had.

Re: K98k 1939 147 Norwegian Converted to .30-06

Gew98m is the modernized Gew98m tangent rear sight is the big difference. Many Gew98s were updated. Used by Weimar republic and the Nazis.

Re: K98k 1939 147 Norwegian Converted to .30-06

Yes. The Minty Argentine 1909s seem to have taken a dip as well. Seen two this year for 500ish. Picked one up for under 500 otd. Hoping for an unmessed with Gew98m and K98 in 2017
