Done in Spain? Ye Olde Hunter sold these in the late 1950's-early 1960's. Painted in black? For some odd reason, many had bad/poor bores. But they did sell.

Hi, I have one of these too. I bought it a few years ago at as a surplus Mausers, but... some previous owner chopped down the front of the stock shortening it to a regular sporter shape... The odd thing is this barrel has a muzzle that looks like an original carbine. I don't know if any Gew 98's were made into cav or arty carbines. ?? I guess this is part of the surplus Mauser puzzle... Anyway, nice pictures there!

Agree. Some communist must have ruined some beautiful rifles.
