What is the metal band in the stock just behind the bolt? Mine doesn't have that.

Well, it should! It's a two piece stock assembly. Here's another on GB, it has been reblued but you can see the band there also.

It has the metal band b/c it is a 98/40, NOT a 98k.

Nice gun, wish I had the dough.

Nice but out of my range.

Will you be unloading any '98k mausers? Thanks, Joe

Contrast is in the lighting. A tripod and quality camera also do wonders.

I use a Paintstik. Available in most art stores. Rub in on to fill the markings and wipe off the excess. I've been using the same one for 20 years. A welder gave it to me in the shipyard.

Joe, I only have two left to sell. One is the Portuguese contract and the other is a ce43 with a ZF41 on it. I also have a STANDARD MODELL I may put on, haven't decided.

Gonna sell a K-98 at the gunshow this weekend.. Not mine but it has the original scope, all matching numbers , 100 percent original with all correct markings,, can you say Nazi??? Just like the one in the auction pic.. Great shooter as I have shot it..[:D]

What will the asking price be at a gunshow?

n/a

I think he is going to put a German (Nazi) uniform with the gun , probably around 1100.00 , really dont know, but I do know the package is worth that and we have a lot of Nazi collectors around here..

mond

i had 1 0r 2 smaller cal (.22/.22H)mausers over the years, the accuracy was unparalleled...wow! [;)]

should be a nice shoot.

n/a

All I can say is that SkyKing is right on with the price for the one he has.. My friend has one of the biggest collections of German firearms than anyone else that I know..He seems to know a lot more about them than I do,..[:D]

Let me put it this way, while they may be the same caliber, the only parts that will interchange that I can think of is sling, rod, and maybe sight cover. Different locking systems and the G98/40 was only made in Hungary. The number (98/40) was just a German accounting/supply ruse haphazardly applied like the G33/40, G29T, and FG42. Get ahold of Goetz's book, German Rifles and Machineguns and that will explain the differences between all German WWII weapons.

Wonder what he will want for the G 41 ? [:(]

No need to wonder. [:D]
For the "W", $2900
For the "M", $5500

Both are matching with the exception of the bolts.
