    Kar98k Sniper at Collector's Source

    I noticed a Kar98kicon on the CS website. Bolt doesn't match rifle, scope mount doesn't match rifle, only $3500.

    Is a mixmaster worth that much?

    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.

    If all the parts are real, it would part out for at least that on the bay. Of course, I have no idea if it has real parts or not. Repros are all over the place in recent months since Inter-Ordnance started contracting very good repros in the Ukraine last year. In fact, they also segragate out their correct BCD sniper receivered RC Mausers and build up mismatched repros for sale these days.

    Caveat Emptor. Know your stuff and buy Law's sniper book before even thinking of paying $3K+ for any Germanicon sniper - just one man's opinion.

    Question

    I've always questioned whether these K98kicon's equipped with the ZF41 scout scopes should be legitimately be referred to as "sniper rifles".....

    I'd like to handle it to see if it's a rebuild ....

    Regards,
    Badger

    I think they are "snipers" but mayb more "tactical sniper" is a better choice since these were meant for close-in engagement.

    Well, you can definitely put together a mixmaster repro ZF41 sniper for less than that. I did for about $1400 with a bolt m/m K98icon, a leaf adaptor base and a Zf41 and mount.

    I think you'd find on today's market, a real ZF41 scope might brng close to $1400 by itself.

    I saw a pretty nice original rig sell last year for $2000 and then get immediately flipped for 4K, so there is a market for legit examples...
