Found a K98 at a Tactical LGS, they have this hanging on the

>>33198425
>no front sight hood

that stock looks way too good for 1939, and are is the bolt supposed to be in the white like that, or is just a bad angle?

>>33198425
kinda reminds me of a mitchell's mauser rebuild

>>33198425

It's a russian capture and the stock has been refinished.

$not worth it.

This

The bolt is matching, so I didn't really question it. I thought maybe there was a time when there were mismatched color bolts

>>33198425
>matching numbers, and the eagle and swastikas are still intact.

Sounds and looks like a Mitchell's

looks like a mitchell's mauser, still, $550 is never a bad price for a 98k.

also, OP is a faggot for not taking this to the Milsurp General thread

a serious collector wouldnt buy a MM for $550, but as far as a 98k/shooter its a good rifle that will outlive you.

plus in 50 years with some wear/tear it wont look as gay and you can sell it for space dollars or bitcoins or w/e we use for currency then.

>>33198425
Please tell me where this is OP. I've been looking for a MM bleached/forcematched mauser forever

That chromed bolt is undoubtedly a Mitchell's.

Gotcha a Mitchell's there m80, want it for shooting? buy a Yugo, want it for collecting? don't buy a Mitchell's.

>>33198425
It looks like it's a Mitchells Mauser forgery.

>>33198816
My Yugo capture was $200 because it was in the "cracked stock" section of J&G sales. Pretty good deal In my opinion since the stock wasn't cracked and It came with a sight hood and cleaning rod.

First thing that came to mind. They completely fucked up the Mauser market and don't give two fucks.

fuck you, mitchells mausers.

>>33198499
Bring your wallet, they've gone up about 500%.

Pre-1940 Mausers do not have front site hoods.
