Hello all,
Bought my first K98 and wanted a little info on it. Have many surplus firearms, but have avoided the K98; mainly due to price and all the reworked rifles and my inexpertise to spot them.
One came up locally and for the price ($500) figured I'd take the chance. Only thing I see the does not match is the safety, finish appears to be original, excellent bore, missing cleaning rod and not original sling.
What do the experts say? Worth it for the money? Original or reworked?
Thanks,
