I had been looking for a German K98 with Nazi marks, but affordability always seems to be an issue. I found a Russian capture that still had the Waffenamts intact, and figured that would be good enough. It is a bcd manufacture, so that helps it some. The bore is really nice, so I thought I would pop for the 400 The guy was asking for it.

Re: K98k Russian Capture
That is a great looking rifle. I have been looking specifically for a Russian Capture K98. I passed on them when they were cheap and plentiful. I don't care a whit about the Nazi markings. The closest I have to the K-98 is a '24 Serbian.

Re: K98k Russian Capture
I found a Yugo K98 for a great price a few years ago. It is a K98 that was scrubbed by Yugoslavia and had their Yugo Crest stamped on the receiver. They left the Mod 98 on the left side of receiver. I have found a few tiny German make on the sights but no Swastikas which side me just fine. I took it to the range yesterday along with a K31 and a couple of Mosins and it shot pretty well. J&G has some for about 250.00 I think.
Re: K98k Russian Capture
Nice Rifle.. It has an Astrawerk front band (Waffen 1) and possibly an original sling. I would need to see better pics to be sure. Sling alone , if original, is worth at least $100..Wish I had known you were looking, just listed one on GB..

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
