Over here, hunting rifles don't require a bayonet...or sight ears or a flash cone... That's why guys cut them.

Yes, a batch came into UK that supposedly had been used by the West German Border Guard units that had been supplied them by us in the early days of its setup in the early 1950's, and as mentioned, being a civilian, not mil unit, they all had the bayonet lug ground off.
How true or not that is I don't but that's what I was told by a RFD that had a few of them for sale about 2 years ago.

The border police were known as the Bundesgrenzschultz, the link takes you to there history from March 1951. I cannot find a reference to the No.5 but they certainly had No.4's.
If you were an ex Wehrmacht soldier and had the choice of a k98 or a No.4, you would take the Mauser every time!
