Hi Guys,
Went to a local gun show last weekend, and one of the stalls there had a 1915 Kar98a.
It was a mis-match all over, with the butt plate painted a shade of black and the stock had been re-done with something. The bore looked pretty good.
K98a's don't seem to be around in any numbers down here ( first time I have ever seen one in the flesh) and I really wouldn't mind one. They wanted $700 AU for it, I considered it but decided to pass (promised the ball & chain I wouldn't buy anything, and for the above reasons)
Were they dreaming with that price tag?
Cheers,
Chris.
