    ce Code JP Sauer & Son 98 Sniper

    ce Code JP Sauer & Son 98 Sniper, please forgive my lack of mauser knowledge, why is the nose cap different than the usual 98 nose cap, was this style a war-time expedient? Did they pull any old rifle of the assembly line to be made into a sniper rifle or were they hand built?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It looks very nice, however, I never saw that exact set-up of scope and mounts as well as the nose cap, very strange. You need someone who just collects Germanicon snipers to run this one by before investment. I have seen MANY snipers from all countries but not that configuration, F.W.I.W-SDH

    Well, a CE44 (JP Sauer Und Sohn 1944 production) K98kicon should have stamped and welded barrel bands - just like the one pictured. They can be either blued or phosphated and in 1944 in a CE made gun they should be unmarked (ie, without serial numbers). The rear sight parts should all be marked only with "1". Basically only the bolt should be serialized to the rifle - possibly the stock but not all will be serial numbered that late in the war. The stock should be sanded smooth and may be stained or unstained. Trigger guard should be of the stamped variety, buttplate cupped.

    the scope is definitely real. The mount is what gives me pause. Looks maybe too good compared to the condition and wear on the scope and rifle itself... but I'm not K98k sniper expert...

    Where's Badger when you need him?

    EDIT: Ok, just saw the part about the rifle being "restored". $5400 seems spendy for a put-together to me.

    The reference to modern parts is interesting. Presumably this includes the scope mount; the safety is a part that has been reproduced, perhaps this is one of the modern parts. Offhand, I can't think of any other K98kicon parts that are modern. Definition of the term "restored" is important. I suppose the key question is when the rifle was assembled as a sniper.

    For all we know, it's one of those Mitchell's Mausers abortions faked up from RC parts. I wouldn't touch a restored anything at that price. And at even 1/2 the price, I'd expect ALOT more info from the seller
