    Question Mauser source?

    I am looking to ad a Mauser to my collection and apparently waited a bit too long. Any opinions on a source? I wolud prefer a K98icon German as WWII is the focus of my collection at present. SOG has some listed. Anyone have an opinion on these? Samco has some Czechicon ,Swedishicon and Yugos if I have to settle. Any prefrences if I do? Know about Gunbroker etc.. no luck at local gun shows. I would like to say money is no object but I am not in the habbit of telling lies. Any help would be appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    You might want to consider a Yugoicon 24/47. They are reasonably priced, great shooters, and well priced.



    Just disregard the historical errors re. WW II!

    The thing is a real tack driver.

    Question

    You left out way to much info! What type 98k are you looking for - a shooter or an all matching collectable. The first are easy to find, I have several to sell, the 2nd is a lot harder and a lot more expensive.

    I would like a WWII vintage Germanicon k-98 in original (shootable) condition with markings intact. Matching numbers are good but not critical as I obtain weapons for their historical value not as an ivestment. A k98 somewhere in the middle shooter/collecter.
    Thanks

    I believe I am going to pick up a 24/7 Czek or Yugo while loking for a German K-98. Several of the importers have them in refurbished condition. I understand there were many Russianicon capture K98s imported not to long ago so perhaps I will get lucky. ( I am aware of the mismatched and modified condition of these but still can appreciate the historical aspect of their condition.)
    Thanks for the video!

    If you're looking for an RC, I have several to sell. Any preference as to maker or year?

    Not familiar enough with mausers to distinguish. How would you handle a sale?

    You would have to find a dealer in your area to handle the transfer, around here most charge $20-25. I would ship the rifle to him and you'd get it from him.
