Good afternoon, everyone. I went to a few auction houses in my state to search for a matching K98 (I know it's not the best place to look but I couldn't make it to the Forks of Delaware show), and came across a double set of training rifles that look promising. Since I don't really know anything...

Greetings Welcome to the forum; it's nice to meet you. I'm rather new to the forum myself, but I can say for sure that this is the best place to learn about K98s and all of their idiosyncrasies. The books offered here are great as well; I bring mine to gun shows in case I need to reference...

Thanks Thank you all for the assistance, but as I've been interacting with the seller over the past week, it seems like this is more of a scam than anything. The guy got more defensive the more I asked about the rifle, and he wanted me to pay before shipping without a way to get a refund or...

Any suggestions for removing the shine from the stock and making it look original without damaging it?

The guy was selling it for $1000; not sure how good that is market-wise, but it's good enough for me if it actually does match.

All I see there are the waffenamts. Should I get another pic from further down the stock to check for a number?

After looking around for a bit, I think I've found a great contender for a first K98 purchase. I wanted to post photos here to get a second opinion from the guys on this forum, as those with experience will probably be able to tell me more about the rifle than I can figure out on my own. This is...

I'm one of those newbies you're referring to, and I can say you're right on that analysis. For those of us who can't afford a large collection, getting quality over quantity is the next best thing we can do. I'm just glad I found out about this place and the books before getting burned by some...

Duly noted, thanks. College schedule's probably gonna make it harder to get to, it but I'll trust your word on it and make it happen. It's pretty far away from now (just looked and the next one's in Sept 2020), so that at least gives me time to plan ahead.

Thanks Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. I sadly couldn't make it to the Forks of Delaware show over the weekend, but it's good to know I was looking in the right direction with that one. I live in Western PA (in the Pittsburgh area) so all of the bigger events tend to be out of my way.

That's one great looking rifle; I hope it serves you well and you enjoy having it. If you don't mind me asking, at what kind of venue did you pick this up? I'm new to collecting and thus trying to get an idea for where to look for these in my area.

Hello to everyone out there! I'm new to the forum and don't know much, but hope to learn. I've been looking for a matching K98 for a while and had an experienced friend direct me here, as well as to the books by Karem and Steves. So far the books have been worth everything I paid for them, so I...
