Idk what that is but that was never a thing from the Germans. Based on the import mark probably a scrubbed, restamped and refinished South American Mauser action.
Because Bubba is creative making junk...it's someone's bad fantasy piece.
I don't know how Bubba did it, but its as fake as a $3 bill....
Stuff like this is done because the person who did it knows that someone like you will find it. That someone will think they have found some lost ultra rare treasure worth 3 kidneys. That person will find the most knowledgeable K98k experts anywhere to vet the piece and get confirmation of it`s ultra rareness. Then be able to retire on some tropical island from the proceeds of it`s sale. That same person will then get all butt hurt and defensive when told by the very experts they sought out, that the ultra-rare treasure is a pile of crap not worth the metal used to make it.
Wise words, welcome to the world of K98K shenanigans...absolute mind field out here.
Look at the picture reference section of rifles here on the K98K forum section. Do you see any German manufactured rifles with gas escape holes in the receiver? I'm stumped as to the maker or model of the receiver but some South America and some European countries got ALOT of M2 ball 30-06 post WW2 so it could be some kind of Mauser conversion action for any number of countries who adopted Mauser rifles that had a action long enough to feed 30-06. Sorry ya got hosed, you should be able to turn it into any number of nice hunting or target rifle with time, money and effort. Nothing of value will be lost cause it was lost long ago when someone most likely sanded or wire wheel n restamped that action. Based on the gas escape holes and my limited knowledge on Mauser rifles it's probably a small ring type of action instead of large ring cause I'm unaware of any large ring Mauser actions with gas escape holes in the receiver.
