Salut,

I am looking for a good standard german made K98.
I want primarily a good shooter but I am also after a rifle with some "historical integrity", ie : as close as possible to the original condition.

So it needs to :
- be in the original 7.92x57 caliber,
- have good bore,
- clean action,
- goodish over-all condition,
- good amount a original finish (blueing/phosphate if late),
- matching # would be great but I can live with slight mis-match,

The above is not cast in iron & I am open to "options". For exemple I would concider a matching numbers one even if it has been re-blued, or same # but different bolt #
etc... etc ... that sort of things ...

I am not fuss pre/early or late war, plain/laminated stock or milled/stamped fittings.
I appreciate it is not such an easy rifle to find, it's not going bargain basement price but I am in no rush .

If you see, hear of one fitting the bill many thanks to let me know

Hi Froggy,
It might be worth keeping an eye on Holts Auctioneers website as they sometimes come up.They have a good website and hold auctions in Norfolk and central London usually about 6 times a year. At the moment they dont have any K98's listed (a whole load of Enfields thou!)
If you fancy a foray to the wilds of Norfolk for a viewing or to attend an auction, give me a shout as you can use our place for a watering hole.

Salut Meaty ,
Thanks for the tip & what a splendid offer
Many thanks !!

Thanks very much
Could it be the same as the one on Gun & Mart ?

Or there's one at

It's stock No 1198. No idea as to condition or matching numbers, but might be worth a phone call?

Looks like a late one and has had turret scope bases fitted at some time, they may or may not be original. So yes worth a phone call.

Another one here....

Many thanks for your help
Sim G - I can not open the page without being a member. Is the maker "237" made in 40 ?
MrD - The stock looks like a replacement but I have sent him a mail & waiting for his answer.

Sorry to go off track - but to whomever posted the holts suggestion - think it was Meaty - I've just had a look and now registered an account - off to "bid"!!
