Hello Tom,
I've seen the auction and read the sellers description about the K98k, it is correct. It is a completely mismatched Russian Capture K98k that is made out of original parts and it will have all the markings he described.
What about the scope mount and rings? Is it an original with all the correct markings or is it a reproduction? I don't know, you can't tell it from seeing the images and he doesn't even mention it in his description.
Did you even buy the scope mount and rings? Maybe? The only thing the description says: "It comes with an original cleaning rod, sling and site hood."
Did you ask him if the scope mount and rings come with the rifle an if they are original or a reproduction? What did he anwser?
Yes Doug, it's the same one, and it sold...so I guess he just wanted us to butter him a bit...? Too late to help Unprofor...
@Badger: Yes his buy was already discussed in this thread Gunbrokers K 98 BCD 4 Sniper Rifle opinon.
@browingautorifle: Yes, it already was too late when he posted the first thread.
@tschie: You've just learned the most important lesson (and probably a very expensive one) a beginning collector can learn. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY!!!
Don't feel bad about it, this happens to every beginning collector. And I realy mean EVERY beginning collector. Maybe we should even start a thread about it?
He's right, even to those of us that have been at it a while. There's a thread around here somewhere about our worst purchase...Quote:
