Hello to all.
I saw today a k98 byf 44 (reported on the top of the receiver. There is also a WaffenAmt, no other id's are reported). The s/n W6260 is reported on the RIGHT side of the receiver. On its left side only 2 WaffenAmt are reported . Unfortunately I wasn' t allowed to take pictures. Its bolt reports a different s/n and the front milled band too. The rear band is stamped. The floorplate and the trigger guard are milled and blocked with 2 groups of two screws. A zf41/1 scope is installed on the proper rail.
Does someone have any idea about what is it?
Is it a platypus?
Thanks in advance.
