Glad you got it! Had an eye on it myself and honestly forgot about it! Congrats!
Just bought this one. I assume it is somewhat rare because I haven't seen many of them for sale. Even more rare seems to be the bayonet. If anyone has one they would sell or a lead on one I would like to purchase it.
I think I was shill bidded at the end. Shipping was $40. Second place guy stopped at $655. I bid $660 which was going to be my last and got it for $700 shipped.Off the blanket no less? [emoji23] How'd you do? Glad to see you got it though.
Nice ! and a fairly scarce gun in all matching condition.
If Hambone doesn't have a spare bayonet, drop me a line. I think I do have one.
Regards, Ned
Thank you.A scarce gun too find in this condition. Good grab is what I say!
Being it is modified is it worth buying a non modified? Secondly will Belgian Bayonet fit on modified?Very nice. First one I've seen with a modified bayonet lug (more common on the 89). A K98k bayo should fit it.
I don't see the need to have a non-modded one if you have this one. Lug will still mount a Belgian bayo, Germans just added a second notch.Being it is modified is it worth buying a non modified? Secondly will Belgian Bayonet fit on modified?

Glad I asked. Guy bid me up by bidding $125 then retracted his bid making me high bidder at $95 so I did the same. Was going to bid again, but since there is no reason to I won't.I don't see the need to have a non-modded one if you have this one.

Congrats. I saw the second one as well. You still got it at a good price.Hey Capt14k- I bought the second Belgian that came from the same seller about a week after yours sold. The numbers are scrubbed on my bolt, but I think the crest is nicer on mine... want to trade??? [emoji23]
Yes it is according to FN Mauser bookPeter, I think that CMB is the inspector's initials?
