German fudd gun rescue

Usually don't buy sporter mausers but price was to good to pass up. Besides the "custom" k98 stock job. It's an all matching numbers, all eagles intact and no import markings so yep figured why not!

 

[baboon]

Looks pretty good what's the details?

 

[Moses1983]

Basic k98 manufactured in 41, all nazi courtuches, war eagles still intact and numbers match on everything. Bore is squeaky clear and tight. Should be a good shooter

 

[Texasgordo]

Can you post some pictures of the Nazi markings?


If possible, I understand if they don't photograph well.

 

[Moses1983]

Yea ill get some up shortly

 

[Moses1983]

I'm sure there's more somewhere

 

[Texasgordo]

Thanks! Those are very cool markings.

Yep which is perfectly fine with me. Got lots of 8mm around

Nice rifle, but being drilled and tapped would kill the collector angle for me...........

Great buy. Military sporters have their own unique appeal. Some amazing sporters have been built on the Mauser action. I have a few, including my first long gun, a SMLE 303 sporter.

I'm betting the bayonet lug is long gone...

I don’t mind things like that, if you decide to sell, I’d be interested.

All original is nice, but a nicely done modified is okay for the right money. You did well.

 

[Moonpie]

I like it.

Replace that recoil pad, remove that scope, install a nice Lyman or Redfield receiver peep sight and you’ll have a super cool retro 1950’s sporter.

I like it, and that's a great deal' but I also like how the term "sporter" is used instead of "bubba'd!!"

Yep, Bubba used a hacksaw and a mill bastard file, sporterized usually refers to a guy with access to a lathe, crowning tool and at least half a clue.

At risk of sounding like a heretic, I like a well-made sporter. You get the ruggedness of the original military design in a hand-crafted package more suitable to your practical needs. And, if your sporter is a SMLE put together by your grandfather and his friends, you get a notable piece of family history.

....can't do that with a PSA AR-15.

One of the excellent builders of sporters was Saturn Gun Works, Reno NV. Several of their Mausers are on Guns International at this time. Depending on the caliber, and glass, they are asking 1.5k to 4K. There must be a residual market for these?

All I know is ain't nobody gonna be buying savage axis, remington 770s and Ruger Americans in 100 years lol
