Hi Marty

Short answer is YES, if you are buying your K98 from an English address/dealers it WILL NOT be able to be fired and will be a full de-act. Depending on when the deac was done will dictate how far you can go with stripping it down also.
There are other more qualified people on here who can give you a rundown on what the deactivation process is in the UK.

Sorry I cant be more help

yeah, I have a bare bones computer, it's all a bunch of parts put together, got to see if I can get my neighbor to help me out,and most of my stuff is U.S., I do have 6 k-98 bayonets, one dress, my helmet, about 850 rounds of 8mm ammo,and an old german can opener. thank's again. I like it here, because i'm new to this, the wife hates it, but oh well.
thank's again
