I'm picked up this rifle today as my second K98... I've talked with a few people and it seems to be a short side rail sniper rifle with a type-2 base and SS totenkopf markings that has been partially sporterized including a duffel cut stock. Looking for more information on it since it seems like it could be something very rare. I got home with it pretty late so wasn't able to take proper pictures in good lighting. I'm not super familiar with K98's, especially sniper variants.
Rubbing for a few seconds with a damp rag revealed the totenkopf on the wood stock at the pistol grip.
Anyone have some input? I am unable to get the front handguard retainer off and therefore can't get it out of the stock, but I'll work more on that tomorrow.
Thanks in advance, and I take more pictures of specific things by request.
