Hello all,
I recently acquired a K98 that my uncle who passed away several years ago brought back when he came home from Vietnam. I do not have any papers or anything like that, but from doing some digging around on the internet, It isn't a russian capture from what I can tell? It looks to be very "sporterized" but my dad said that he did not modify it in any way, shape, or form when he brought it back. The stock has significantly been cut back, and from looking on the internet, it is a 1939 model "147" stamped on the receiver. It also has not been cleaned at all.
