Hello all, just thought I'd share my 98m that I picked up a few years (probably 10 years ago) ago at an auction, it was in a sporterized stock that with a little work could made to look somewhat original. I have it currently residing in a Brazilian 1908 stock and some time in the future will have the original stock repaired. It is surprisingly in great shape with no import marks that I've seen. I haven't had it out of the wood in a while but can get more pictures of under the wood if anyone wants. The barrel looks to be replaced and is in great shape, although I haven't slugged it for size and I still haven't shot it yet. I know the stock it came in was a force match as can be seen by the serial numbers in the barrel channel. I don't know a lot about these rifles and don't know how much of the rifle was force matched but most of the metal does match. The rear band is from a K98 so I know that isn't correct and the front band is actually from the 1908 stock.
I will have more pictures in a reply post. I tend to go overboard with pictures. I'm also trying to figure out resizing them to fit here.
