Hello all

May be in the wrong section, but im a gambling man, so here goes.

I came across a k98az at this weekends calgary easter show.

The seller wanted 650. It was all matching except for the fireing pin, the fireing pin lug, and it seemed as if the follower had been polished.

The reason I didnt pick it up was, the screw holding the barrelband in place looked like bubba had screwed it in just minutes before the show. I am not well educated on the k98az rifles, so I passed on it, because of this.

However, after seeing the MKLicon post on said rifle I have a slight feeling. Since there is supposed to be a screw there. Despite this screw had a certain polished look to it, it can be replaced.

Overall finish was pretty nice, 80% blueing, great stock, very nice bore, and the overall wear was in a pretty manner, if you catch my drift.

What would an estimate value would be? Or rather, what is fair market value of a nice k98az. Should I try and hunt the seller down or hope for a reply to my WTB add?

Thanks in advance.
