Why would you spend $795.00 on a destroyed useless firearm? It doesn't matter now if its rare or not its destroyed!!! That site is a horror show.

Sounds like what you were describing was a Russian Capture K98. They sell in the US for $300-$400.

But it doesn't look like it. seems the stock and the blueing is in org condition + all matching ser# but the fire proof mark has been peened. So have no idea who did that

Hard to tell anything now. All I see is dewatted east-german rework of what used to be a dot44 semi-kriegsmodell.

Peened proof marks and other markings? Done by the Russians.

They re-post it on their site again. coz i didn't pay them.

It's a post-war refurb or assembly. Czech or French IMHO. The stock has been sanded and on a real one would be much rougher. The trigger guard should not be numbered and the floorplate should not be milled. The receiver has been cleaned up before blueing - on a real KM the machining marks would be much more evident. Interesting rifle, but overpriced by about $500 in this man's opinion.
