I will be honest right up front. I found this forum while searching the net for information on a K98 and ammunition that I am trying to sell. I don't consider this rifle a collector's piece as it is not in the original stock, one number does not match, and it is missing the front sight hood. 2 of the numbers that I think would matter seem to match, but I really don't know what I don't know about this rifle. I believe the 1000 rounds of ammo I have is Argentine AP manufactured in 1954 based on the head stamp "A A 54" and the steel(?) bullets. I also have 1 new box of Federal 170gr soft points, which really makes no difference to the package overall.
I can easily send pics from my cell phone to another cell phone, but I have difficulty getting pics posted online when re-sizing is involved - I will try to post pics here if anyone wants to see them. I will also answer any questions as best I can.
As to why I would sell it - my daughter's college bills are expensive, and this has been a safe queen since I got it years ago. I have never even fired it.
Mauser K98
byf 43
Proof marks visible but worn.
Serial # 32836 h
Number on bolt handle - 2836
Number on back of bolt - 8732
The number "36" is stamped on the top left across from the bolt handle, just forward of the safety.
I figure that I will find some information by reading here, so If anyone can direct me to an appropriate thread about either the rifle in general or the ammunition, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I will start searching the forum when I get time to read later.
