EOD - bombs and bullets
Another member asked me about this one..wow, what a turd...I mean, it is what it is, but read the description, total BS...
"Fine, late war production K98k by Waffenwerke Brunn...this Mauser was manufactured at the Brno arms factory during the final full year of the Second World War, for issue to the German Wehrmacht. A largely correct example, the features include a 24" round barrel, late pattern bolt assembly, milled barrel and H-bands, late war stamped trigger guard and floorplate, and furniture of laminated Beech capped by flat buttplate. Having no sign of post-war service, the markings include the 'dot/1944' identifier on the receiver ring, unmarred Eagle/Acceptance(Swaztika) proofs, matching numbers on the barrel, barrel band, bolt components(shroud, handle and cocking piece) and floor plate, and Eagle/63 inspector stamps or Waffenamts on the receiver, bolt handle and right side of the stock. The buttplate and bayonet boss are notably numbered to a different rifle, with Eagle/26 codes identifying Borsigwalde as the maker, as is the rear sight slider, the riser of which is coded for Gustloff Werks, and the barrel is coded Eagle/359 for Walther with the inspector mark in front of the serial number separated by a small Eagle/Swaztika firing proof. Notably, the barrel serial number appears to be in a different font, and the gun may have been rebarreled at some point. Also present is a re-work star on the cocking piece(identifying that component as rejected and reworked during production) and the light lacquer finish on the stock suggests that the rifle saw attention by an arsenal or unit armorer prior to the war's conclusion. Additionally, the rear screw on the trigger guard is a non-matching replacement. Lacking an import mark, the rifle is a candidate for having been shipped home as a GI's war trophy and the gun appears to remain in as-issued condition. A striking example of the iconic K98k, this rifle would be a superb addition to any advanced Mauser collection."
Note advanced "streamliner" technology on the stock and handguard, absolutely no sharp edges to cut your hands, and to help it glide through the air with ease, along with the smooth, boned finish, again, reducing drag and allowing for smooth running at the front. Stamps in buttstock are in late war low-viz camo, so as not to draw attention.
Regular worker was taking a break when the s/n was stamped on barrel, so the Russian POW stand in used the handy dandy stamps in his pocket to number it...
I think Shooter Ike is writing the copy for these guys....
Seriously, what mental midget is paying $1075 for this?? I should sell him some of my bolt mismatches, should be able to get at least $3k for them...
