For the last few years I've been looking for a Gew98. My youngest son gets mad when I make him go, "roller coaster sights, un-bubba'd" his little rant that he knows he knows he knows what I'm looking for. My oldest goes willingly and has a good time at a great gun show w/ little beef jerky for sale. I digress. I wasn't looking for all matching but this guy had this w/ the bayonet for a reasonable price and it was ALL matching, I think even the cleaning rod as I can discern an 8 at least. if it doesn't match, it's at least and 80 something, but I can't see that well. Also the receiver is NOT in the white, but it doesn't look blued either, it looks almost like rust, Patina? I'm no expert. Rifling is strong but man is there a ton of sheisse in the bore. Did some Sweets 762, some butches bore shine, G96 (of course) and finally some foaming bore cleaner (let that sit for an hour, all this nasty black stuff came pouring out rather than the usual blue) Ran some Jb bore paste then another treatment of the foamng stuff, not as bad the second time. Bore looks much more serviceable. How did I do guys?
