Perhaps a pinned thread on nothing but WWII 98k rifles?

Awesome.. How did you determine that? Is there any other info you could provide on the rifle? I really appreciate you passing on your knowledge..

I looked in a reference book on mausers.Yours was made in Spain at Industrias de Guerra arsenal.

Can someone in the know pass their eye over this and say what it is please

A modern day made fake with sanded stock. These repop scopes tend to be delicate as well when shooting.

Hey guys,
I'm hoping I'm putting this in the right thread, if I've messed up, pardon me.
Hopefully someone can help me.....my grandfather brought this back from WWII & it was given to my brother. My brother now wants to sell it & I'm interested in purchasing it, but we have no idea of what it's value might be.
My memory is fuzzy on this, but I'm under the impression that it came from a factory & I'm thinking it's never been fired. I'll post some pics & any information that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. It has some nicks here & there, it's not perfect but it's in very nice shape. My photography/inferior camera do not do it justice.

There's an 898 in the stock in the last pic, it's actually stamped into it in 2 places. The next to the last pic has "bcd" & 43. Any help is much appreciated!








Thanks!

Just got my rifle back from a gunsmith. I had him do the casting, safety check, and identification.
Turns out the rifle is not a 1893 spanish mauser. It is a czech vz24. 7x57mm

No it isn't-its a Spanish M1916 Short rifle with the later leaf spring rear sights fitted during the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 39) -basically a shortened version of the M1893 Rifle with turned down bolt handle. I would suggest you check Wikipedia to see the various Mauser rifles but if you check out Spanish M1916 you will see your example.

I would suggest you get another gunsmith.

This is my rifle that was identified by a gunsmith as a vz24 7x57. (just to make sure you guys were looking at the right rifle)
I made a mistake by not quoting the previous photos...
