what is the difference?

They are very different models. The WWI is a small ring Mauser and the WWII is a large ring Mauser. Try the want to buy ads and Ebay as well. But realize you need a WWI Kar98a stock.

So, look here and those that can't see the difference...can see the difference. It's all in what you ask for.

will keep my eyes open never know what i will find when i get the next load of parts guns or wood from a closed shop.

[henry r]

thanks, i was expecting minor differences, hence the question, not obvious ones.

the KAR98a is a really nice looking rifle.

The ONLY one I've ever seen around these parts was a duffle cut bring back. The bore was done and the duffle cut was unrepaired.

While I was searching for a GEW98, I came across at least three KAR98's. I didn't want a KAR98 at the time so passed on them. Prices weren't terrible and one was downright decent but it wasn't on my shortlist. Still isn't really but the one sitting for six months at the gun shop is now bothering me. "Take me home" I hear every time I walk in the place.

Looks like I could get the rifle for $225 out the door. Considering it but will probably wait until weekend gun show, who knows what will turn up.
