Local Israeli K98k, a little rough but great price

[konigstigerii]

Wandered into a local gun shop, saw a few milsurps, Israeli 7.62 K98K, Sporterized Ross and a K31. Ross was $600, K31 was $700...but to my amazement the K98 was $299. Talked them down to $275 and I was pretty happy with that price. Its not in the best shape, as you'll see in the pictures, there is some pitting on the action and barrel, but nothing that would prevent it from being safe to shoot. Pitting is same on the barrel so guessing it happened post rebarreling. Barrel looks clean and sharp rifling.

Doesn't appear anything matches, and looks to be post war Czech manufacture. Markings on the receiver were ground or corroded off, looks like remnants of 7.62, Mod. 98 and probably dou (looks like oou, but I don't think that is a valid code) Date was ground off...if I squinted in just the right light looked like the date may have stared with a 4 :/ The trigger guard is a milled style, and does have whats left over of a waffenamt on it...nothing else does. Barrel has Israeli markings.

Gonna clean up any rust, oil it up, maybe order repo cleaning rod, front sight hood and lock screws. Debating if I should clean the wood up more or just shoot it as is. Regardless, sub 300 for a good shooter is pretty good imho.
