Ground Dug K-98 Sniper

Hey guys,

I saw some pictures posted of a hound dug K-98 sniper that was supposedly found in Russia and thought I would share.

SO am I assume that this was a "put together'..?

The pic shows the rifle "as found" with no bolt,scope,nor stock.

Just wondering.

PLus it looks like some type of electrical wire in 2 of the pics..?

What ever the case may be...pretty gnarly looking.

Virtually no pitting on the Mod 98 section of receiver..was not underground I suppose..?
