I have two of which one is very nice (see the attached pics) I would be looking to sell, export to the UK is no trouble at all if you have a dealer I can ship it to.
Edit: since you were asking, the removal of the bayonet was based on an old German gun law. Stupid, I know. They often also added a welding dot to the rear sight to block it for distances above 300 Meters.
Last one I picked up was a hand in for the last Amnesty, only cost me the time to do the paperwork:)
You lucky b*gger Muffett naah seriously good for you hopefully was un bubba'd
Geez BAR you had me imagining a hunter going at a Rusa or Sambar or even a Moose with a one on one with bayonet V's Antlers............:madsmile:
You can just imagine someone doing a bayonet charge with a Krag on a downed deer Jim!
Dosen't seem terribly sporting!
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!
