Hello,
Trying to make a decision whether to restore or sell this Mauser, any help would be appreciated.
I bought this K98 along with a few other pieces which were part of an inheritance, it is an all matching Mauser which has been "Sporterized" with Lyman front and rear sights, the rear peep has been tapped to the receiver, the tangent rear sight is missing. The bore is clear with deep lands and grooves, I cannot see signs of brazing or silver solder to secure the front sight but I did not try to remove it so cannot say if it's just a slip-on. The barrel has not been cut and it has the original high-polish commercial finish.
Thanks, looking forward to your opinions.
