I must have given my eldest son the MILSURP bug, because he's been going after various firearms. He cam to me asking how to identify a real from fake German K98icon Russain Capture Mauser.

He wants one of these badly but has taken caution since so many fakes are out there. I told him that y'all might be able to help.

What should he be looking for when buying German K98 Russain Capture Mauser and how can he identify a fake?

I told him if he's going to continue down this MILSURP path he should join us here on the FOURM.
