My First K98

Closer look at the photos, in pic 7 there are import stampings near the front sight, looks like VT (Vermont). Pics 3-4 by the receiver looks like remnants of the stock refinishing seen on the RC Mauser rifles, so stock probably cleaned some. Nice rifle from a less common maker.

Yeah good eye weller. I zoomed in and could make it out. Century Arms Imports CAI Bought a mix-matcher BYF 44 in mid-nineties for a shooter. Stamped CAI 8MM underneath of barrel. Must admit the above 98k does appear decent and a good code to own.

Reminds me of the Romanian capture rifles. My old DOU 44 looked similar in condition to yours in terms of condition and parts mis match. Nice rifle, enjoy it.
