Hey yall.
Just want to introduce myself. My name is Andrew and I am from North Ga. Im an avid deer hunter and reloaded. I collector old Winchester shotguns, or just old firearms in general. I grew up hunting with a Winchester Model 70, both with and without CRF. I am 13 years law enforcement and have attended two sniper schools. My previous agency, I was the SWAT team leader and I was tasked with being the sniper unit for the team. I began precision, long range shooting when I was 16 years old, I'm 37 now.
A brief history about why I joined this forum, is due to my fascination with World Word 2. I specifically have a lot of interest in Germany WW2 history. I have some German distantly in my blood lines, so naturally I'm intrigued.
I am familiar with Mauser style actions such as as the Win Model 70 and the Ruger M77. I've owned 1 Ruger but roughly 7 or 8 Model 70s. Recently, I have been religiously studying the history of Mauser rifles, particularly the Mauser 98. To be more specific the Mauser 98k. I have been researching sporterized Mausers and interested in buying a 98K and make it Sporterized. Well I am currently waiting on a Mauser 98k made by Berlin-Lubecker Maschinenfabrik. with a 24" barrel. The rifle has Waffen inspector marks, which really look good. From the pictures I noticed an inspector mark on the left side of the receiver and another inspector mark on the left side of the barrel. Once its said and done, I will only have $450 in the rifle. The rifle appears to be in great shape. The one negative in my mind from everything I can tell is all the serial numbers on the bolt match, but it doesn't match anywhere else like on the receiver or floor plate. Im still learning if that is a big deal.
Just wanted to introduce myself and my newly acquired obsession with learning about the Mauser 98.
Here are some pictures of the rifle Im waiting on. I still haven't determined what type of peep sight that is, or if installing a sight in that location is somewhat normal.
