I would appreciate you confirming the date when you have time.

I text him and asked the very question... He said he contacted the guy and he said he's not interested. No idea who the heck wouldn't want to swap and get the guns back to original? Or the guy is...

Just went to the link... Awesome information and great story from a former Yugo soldier and collector who visited the gun factories who reworked the K98's.

Thank you!

Okay, I bought the rifle last weekend.. It's in really good shape to be 100 years old. I resolved the mystery on the bolt, the guy had the 1891 Carcano and a Carcano Carbine. He accidentally swapped...

Picture wont load, see #21 above for photo and arsenal marks.... Also, my rifle doesn't have any X's on it anywhere..

Anyone know what the number on the barrel under the wood and the arsenal marks mean?

Aragorn... Thanks
I am still learning and probably will never know everything about the military rifles, but who knows everything.... That's why websites like this help.
I love the history behind...

Serial Number on the barrel is 858 and has proof markings on it.

Any information on dates would be appreciated. I know it's not a numbers matching gun and was probably made from parts and pieces? But, just knowing that it started it's life as a K98, most likely...

It is 9 43 ?

I took the rifle apart today and here are the markings I found... What can you tell me by these markings? Can we date the receiver/barrel by these markings? and Can we date the wood by the markings...

I am going to try and disassemble the rifle this weekend and look at the serial numbers behind the wood. I would have thought it was most all original and just has the markings removed? The bluing...

It has the milled trigger guard and floor plate? Will this help narrow down the year it may have bee made? From ____ to _____ Years?

...

It's also got a really thick butt plate? I have seen some Mausers with thick but plates and some with really thin butt plates? Why?
I'd love to hear from the Mauser experts on the markings and is...

I bought the rifle and picked it up tonight. It looks great, bluing is a little worn, everything is looks really good. I posted photos, what can you tell me by the markings? Several serial numbers, a...

The guys asking $350?
I liked the Nazi markings, but not the Yugo crest now that you all pointed it out.
I like the history behind this gun and the action I am sure it saw in WW2.
But, believe...

Would like to know the history of this Mauser, I believe it's a Yugo Mauser by the crest. Were these originally German K98 Mauser's since it has the Nazi markings? Any idea of year made? Are the Yugo...

I am new to military gun collecting and am learning something new everyday.
I haven't gotten a Mauser yet and have run across this one and need help with what it is and what it's worth. The guy...

I found these photos on Youtube of WW1 Carcano Rifles, They show a Turned Down Bolt? I was confused because I see most All Carcano full length rifles with straight bolt handles? ...
