Description
In Excellent Original & Unrestored Condition!
Sourced from the US & offered for sale is this very nice example of a late war pre-Kriegsmodell Kar98k fitted with the rare solid walnut stock, as occurred occasionally when they intermittently came available to the Mauser factory.
Unsurprisingly, this rifle is not all matching but it is in original, unrestored condition as it was when it was taken home by a USGI as a war trophy in the aftermath of WW2.
By 1944, German production of the Kar98k was at its highest despite the very real pressure being applied to German production facilities, including the strategic bombing of the Mauser factory.
This rifle has been kept in the field using whatever parts the German Unit armourer had in his box, including the ‘winter trigger guard’ but is not an RC & retains both the cleaning rod & original sight hood, which are usually lost over time.
If you have been looking out for the iconic cupped butt plate, mid war K98 with the large bolt takedown disc, here it is.
Do your own research & you will know if this is for you. Please view the photos carefully & make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information. Ask for more if desired.
We are offering this rifle as a collectable piece of military history & acknowledge the grievous atrocities committed by the Nazi regime & some of its military, particularly toward the peoples of occupied territory & the Jewish population in Europe. In no way do we condone or glorify the Nazi regime which must be remembered for the vile stain on human history that it was.
We think we have described it accurately & correctly but do not claim to be infallible so if we have got anything wrong, it is unintentional & are happy for feedback from people who know more than we do.
Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & this is sold on an ‘as is’ basis. As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting.
We have a pretty unique refund policy on our collectable guns whereby we will refund your money if it is not as described when you receive it. Just let us know before you decide to send it back.
