Just bought this K98 icon

Mauser. Appears to be all matching numbers with no import marks. Has a mirror bore and in nice condition. How did I do?

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.

Those with more knowledge will be by shortly but, if it's not fake markings and it truly is all matching you got yourself a very nice SS supervised Steyr. Pictures of all numbers,cartouches, markings would help.

Either way now you gotta feed it!!!...

Here are a few more pics. Other than these there are no other markings!

that, my friend is a legit, unmolested Single Rune. well done

I bought this thru a private party that had a lot of hunting rifles. This was the only milsurp on the list and was just listed as a M98. When I saw it was a numbers matching gun I jumped on it not knowing about the SS info. Was priced at $400 but got for $350. For insurance what would be a approx. value on this.

**kar98k** · 10-20-2013 04:54 PM

you STOLE that thing. if it's all matching and unmolested (as it appears to be), for insurance $2000 - maybe $3000 would be fair.

**jerrbear** · 10-20-2013 05:06 PM

I am speechless at this point. It will go down to my son and grandsons. I have a RC that I paid about $400. for. That kind of luck don't come my way very often! Thank you for your insight.

that deserves to be put in a shadow box, hung above the mantel and admired. you did very well.

The sling is worth some coin too.
