KAR98 rebuild Yugo ?
I have recently come across a German K98
serial numbers almost scrubbed off plus most German markings removed. The stock ,bolt and receiver are re serial numbered Like a Yugo rebuild.. The receiver serial serial number which is W2465 Is on the right side of the receiver, very faint original German serial number on left side. Rifle is redone beautifully. The top markings though have not been taken off BNZ43? Some of the small German marking still remain on bolt extractor ring And other Very small places. the top of the receiver seem to have taken the German marking off it is almost a rust blue and not matching the rest of the Blue.I am not very computer literate and cannot seem to figure out how to take a photoAnd link it up.Serial numbers on stock run vertically Which goes along with Yugoslavia
Rebuild. But why leave the BNZ43 on top of receiver?? Odd.Any info would be appreciated. It's also very small 8 on top of barrel just ahead of receiver.

I don't think they did normally scrub the K98
rebuilds, not completely anyway.

The 'bnz' is original (made in the Steyr factory in Austria
) but the '43' stamp below it, is not original, it's clearly been overstamped over the remains of the original 43 with a different font stamping, and its far deeper than original. Whether this was done during the rework or later in civilian ownership is debatable.
Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

It might fit after Bubba works on it for a few minutes......
