Mauser source?

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

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 K98 German as WWII is the focus of my collection at present. SOG has some listed. Anyone have an opinion on these? Samco has some Czech ,Swedish 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.

You might want to consider a Yugo 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.

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 German 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 Russian 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?
