Hello all, first time poster long time lurker. I made my first purchase today of a K98 single S rune Steyr. I’m looking to the experts of this panel to let me know how I did. Firstly. This gun is a bring-back and non import marked. The rifle has several unmarked parts including buttstock, magazine door, sling bands and front band. The receiver lacks waffen marks. The rear sight, the floor plate, the rear sight base all match the receiver. The bolt matches itself but is close in number. (Reciever 5102, bolt 5883) the stock has no marks save an “S” stamped in the rear underside by the buttlplate.
Now. The story. The seller is a Vietnam vet himself and states his dad took the rifle on DDay+3 in France.
The rifle is accompanied by a police dress bayonet and helmet, both of which belonged to the soldier killed by his father. He is willing to send me a letter, notarized with this story and his dads unit etc.
How did I do for a first purchase?
