Good afternoon Forum,
I am looking for some assistance on a rifle my uncle left me. He was an Army Infantry veteran, and brought back K98 rifle. It sat in a gun rack for 70 years, I don’t believe it was fired during this time. It appears to me to be in good condition, I notice some German war eagles stamped on it, along with the number 510 in several locations, including the butt plate and the stock. Gunsmiths are backed up 2 months here in Atlanta, so it will be awhile before I can determine if it can be safely fired. Any ideas on the rarity of this gun are appreciated, best
John
