K98 sniper ss

[jmoore]

From the limited views available, I'd call it a put-together. The mounts don't have the same texture as the rest of the rifle. The scope and rings could be excused for looking different as they may have spent considerable time enclosed in their protective case, but the mounts ought to be in exactly the same shape as the rifle in this case. Could be wrong, but that's the initial reaction.

Good observation! The receiver is also severely scratched below the rear mount, something that must have happened before the mount was fitted. Inconsistent wear is a real clue that these parts were not together from the start. So putting our various views together I would say: Original enough as a rifle, but fake as an original sniper.
