Sorry for the bad pictures but the importer is from Fort Knox Tennessee

Oh man and the last one is a doozy. A yugo reworked K98, with Elm yugo replacement stock, that tubby calls laminated. Has yugo re stamped numbers. But it has a cleaning rod it's not counter bored, and it has capture screws!!! Wait for it........... $1599.99 :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckle...

Its dirty but not pitted or rusted. It's been shot periodically for about 30 years, cleaned recenntly.

Do we know what that little diamond on the receiver means? My ex dragoon has the same marking. Definetly has my vote.

Ill take some tomorrow afternoon. The importer is stamped along the side if the muzzle. Where the bayonet locks into place.

What are those 2 markings on the bolt? can we see more pics? Nice rifle.

Yeah i feel like an idiot for saying it haha. But everything else on this rifle seems to be legit. It happens and I wouldn't sweat it if I were you. That's a heckuva nice K98, and it being a bolt mismatch doesn't detract from it one bit to me. Enjoy it, I know I love my K98. I don't the know, I thi...

1st one I bought, picked it up for $130.

Nice K98, but it's a numbers mismatch due to the bolt you have pictured not being numbered 882 also. Also, I may be wrong, but it looks like something weird is going on with the serial number by the charts. Here is the serial number range that it should be for that year. "Mauser AG Oberndorf b...

Uncle Ben? That better not be the guy who sells me my rice. Hype, oldest sales trick there is, convince people they need it, only you have it, it's in short supply, and you better get it now or burn in hell forever. If he's the one selling your rice, they have had the picture on the box wrong for a...

Yeah it's a fun shooter for sure. It has a nice fireball that comes out of the barrel. Kicks like a mule.

Junk Yard Dog wrote:Yes it is one of the Molot imports from just before the current unpleasantness with the Russians. Nice find.

Picked it up for $265 and a tin of ammo at a gun show way back when they were still relativley easy to find.

I beleive it is one of those Molot carbines. Not sure.
