There is a gent here locally who is selling a Mauser 98K with a code of 42 and a date of 1939. The numbers on the barrel and reciever dont match the floorplate/triggerguard. The front sight is a replacement as well. This rifle looks to be in remarkable condition for a gun that was made in 1939 and has waffenampt stamps and other german wwii markings. There is no sight hood and no strap. It seems the bayonet lug is new as it is shiney metal in the white. The remainder of finish is a very blue with no real dings or scratches except on the barrel in front of the front band and those marks look like vise marks. Asking price 250.00 Is this a bargain or is it about right for this type of gun in the condiion.
