Hello I just picked up my first k98, everything matches but the rear sight slider, bolt, floor plate and follower. I was wandering if the mismatched parts are armory replacement by any chance? Other wise I would like your opinions on the rifle. I’m not a k98 expert although I have been looking for a decent one for a while and this looked good so I picked it up.

For your first 98k you did very well! Tough to find in any condition and this one looks awesome.

Butt plate looks overly cleaned for some reason but pics aren’t great.

Mismatched parts are mismatched parts, anything else is conjecture. Having said that a very nice rifle in any case.

While the pictures are very poor, it does look largely original, not a easy rifle to find nice, and BSW/37 has a very high rc-rate (preponderance of rc's among surviving examples)

Simson era firing proof is cool on these early ‘37 rifles
