I'm in discussion with the owner of this K98icon concerning a trade. At stake is a CE 44 K98 for an IBM AO M1icon Carbine and maybe some cash.

This is what I know about the K98.

1) All numbers match except the barrel band, bayonet lug and band spring.
2) Bore is good
3) Stock is from a RC. Original stock was sporterized and front metal lost. Butt plate is original.
4) Not an RC and no import marks
5) The waffenamts consist of 280, 37, 359, and 135

I'm not real up to speed on the Mauser end of things. I know what I have as far as the carbine goes and would like to have the Mauser but I don't know how they compare to each other. I'm looking for opinions from people who know about the K98.

Here are the pics.
