They threw all the parts in piles, hot blued them, and then slapped them back together with whatever parts were on the top of each pile. When the Soviets refurbished them they didn't bother keeping the parts of one rifle together. The barrel bands, floor plate, stock & handguard, bolt (and its parts) and barrel all had the serial number of the receiver. When the rifles were made by the German factories, most parts had the serial number stamped. Thanks for the feedback!Ī little background for folks who are learning. The history is great but not if I'm getting taken. The MM rep sounded like I just hit the jackpot but I would appreciate an unbiased opinion. (I detect a breeze coming from the rear but I don't know) The guy I spoke with started going on about how it's a great find and that they have been out of K98's for the last 2 years and doubt they'll find more. On the MM website they are sold out of the K98's and I called to ask them for any additional information but apparently they know very little beyond the model, SN, and grade. Obviously, this is a surplus weapon that never saw a day of fighting but I like the historic quality being from that region and time. I've attached a couple picks you can see part of the very clean (unfinished) stock and receiver markings. It's a MM import and has a collectors grade certificate. It has "CE" markings (JP Sauer & Sohn) and all numbers matching SN 4459d. Hello, I recently came across a 1944 German K98 Mauser at a local gun shop.
