K98k 1939 147 Norwegian Converted to .30-06

[capt14k]

Acquired this one recently locally. It is a 1939 147 made by J.P. Sauer. All matching. All original markings and numbers present except the bolt handle serial was removed and stamped with new Norwegian serial, and butt plate and receiver original serial was crossed out and Norwegian serial added. A in Circle is Norwegian Inspector Mark. 7.62 is for .30-06 conversion which Norway converted all their K98k to .30-06, except for Marine issued Rifles, because we gave them an unlimited supply of ammo.

The K98 or any large ring mauser would have no difficulty with the .30-06 pressures, what I wonder is what did they do to the barrel? Line it or replace it? The 8mm Mauser round uses the larger diameter .323 bullet. Nice looking rifle.

Thank you. They replaced the barrels.

A neat one. Interesting to see the variety of post war used K98s

Thank you. The one I have yet to see is the French used. I've read about them, but I haven't seen one yet.

I have yet to see a French one myself. Would like an Israeli as a shooter plus quite an ironic piece of history

I've looked at a couple Israelis, but I want a FN with the crest on it. Saw one but the crest was well worn.

The Israelis seem to be rising in price as well

Mausers are strange. The German Matching K98k have seen a large drop in price. The Contract Mausers have increased in price. The RC Mausers increased then dropped again. I stopped trying to figure them out and just buy what I like when the price seems right.

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

I agree. I got a matching 1909 for under $500 too. A friend of mine grabbed a Gew98 matching and original with duffle cut for under $500 just recently as well. I'm not familiar with the m designation. What is that?

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