Re: Selling my deactivated Mauser.
The only explanation about the removal of the cleaning rod and bayonet section of the rifle is that it could have been modified post war for hunting or as a target rifle? Also, the modification to the stock might have been to mount a rear sling loop..... This is only a guess, if you get a price and are still looking to sell it, give me a shout as I've got an K98 stock in the loft that could bring this weapon back to its original state
Thanks

Re: Selling my deactivated Mauser.
Could the star mark be Edelweiss ?

Cheers guys.
so what would be the reason to modify the front end, is it a weight thing? interesting.
the star mark is really intriguing, you say Edelweiss, was this common place. what was the significance of that emblem ?
cheers again.

From Wiki:
"Starting in late 1944, Karabiner 98k production began transition to the "Kriegsmodell" ("war model") variant. This version was simplified to meet wartime production demands, removing the bayonet lug, cleaning rod, stock disc (which functions as a bolt disassembly tool), and other features deemed to be unnecessary. At least two transitional variants existed, which incorporated only some Kriegsmodell features, and some factories never switched to Kriegsmodell production at all."
The odd thing about yours is that it still has the stock disc, also the markings are a little odd, maybe some of the 98K experts who frequent this forum can chime in.

Re: Selling my deactivated Mauser.
Given the condition issues and it is miss-matched I think £200 maximum.
Cheers, Ade.
