This is one of Samco's unissued Persian 98/29's a brand new GEW98 style Mauser at a 1980 price, not bad at all.

Lazy sellers who can't be bothered to research what they sell before listing it, sometimes it works out for us :)

I have had the Persian Mauser carbine for years, the Mauser I shoot the most, lot of fun.
