A rifle...
Look at this one: http://www.ozgunsales.com/listing/42502/k98_mauser.html
In fact, this rifle was put up here some months back asking about it, to-wit I responded it was restamped (and wrong code lol) and the original poster then pulled the photos.
Well, here it is again, for sale, for a shocking $2000 ($1500 US as of today's exchange rate) - at least he tells you the barrel is a replacement. He doesn't say the bolt serials are REALLY pathetic restamps. I also fail to see how a Mauser Oberndorf WaA655 stock can be matching to a Steyr (which should be WaA623 or given the serial, probably simply e/H with a cupped buttplate) - oh that's right, it's a faked stock. My bad. Unless it is actually a byf...we never do see the receiver code.
And it's got a ram-rod - I suppose that may be useful if a fired round sticks in the chamber considering the bolt is not original nor headspaced (probably) to the rifle.
Ah yeah, it's got a repro sling too. That's a deal sealer right there.
$2000...where do these clowns pull these figures?! I guess the poor bugga got shafted thinking it was real, then is trying desperately to recoup his lost deniro.
Pictures loaded for posterior posterity:
