I have seen quite a few rifles on gunbroker for sale that are Mauser 98 actions and are reasonably priced. Are they reasonably good actions or what's the scoop on them?

    I have a Mauser 98 that I received from my dad. He doesn't remember anything about the gun, it's caliber, year, model etc. It has the markings Rax98 and the serial number is 9033 with some kind of mark underneath it and on the bottom of the barrel under the stock is stamped BO.955 It has a BERLIN PECAR 6x59 scope on it that I found out was purchased in 1959. Does anyone know how I can find out more about this gun?, its absolutely gorgeous and in mint condition. I really want to know the caliber and the year it was made and any other information that I can. Thanks zlaw_1@charter.net

    I have a Model 98 Mauser. It has a German eagle, the letters CE and 44. The numbers 934772 or 934712 appear several places on it. Here is also a symbol like a cursive n ... any ideas when this was manufactured or what it's worth?

    I bought a Mauser 98 action today for a project. I'm not a real Mauser expert, I just like the actions, planning on building a 35 Whelen. My question is, where was a Preduzece 44 marked action made?
    On the right side of the action, (from the butt end) is stamped E1921.
    The action has been buffed and blued at some point, I can't find any proof marks.
    Thanks for looking.
    W.D.

    My father left me a Mauser 98 and I am trying to find out what it might be worth, I may decide to sell it. All the serial numbers that I can find match, barrel, bolt, trigger. It has what looks like the original leather strap. the markings on it are 43 ar. It also has the german eagle and swastica markings in several places. the serial number is 8947. are there some other things I need to check ? What would be a decent price for a gun like this ?

    Ok I dug another one out of my safe and started looking it over.
    Its a Mauser 98 and has the following info on barrle
    WAFFENFABRIK
    MAUSER A.G.
    OBERNDORF A/N
    1915
    On the side of chamber it has a stamped figure of maybe a lion with wings and then 5217 Dew .98
    Oposit side it has some german letter with a crown above it . There are three of these in a row.
    On the stock there are 2 emblems of some sort stamped into the side maybe the same letter and crown and then maybe an eagle.

    I will post pick tommorrow in the light of day. My flash and the inside lighs just do not cut it to get a clear pic.

    It seems to have matching # on all parts and even has the letter and crown on every part even the screws.

    I have this old mauser in 9x57. How much work would it be to make it into a 35 whelen? Is it worth the trouble? Open to suggestions!

    Since Numrich is not selling recievers any more, does anyone know a good place to get stripped Mauser 98 recievers? I don't want YUGO's.

    Your rifle was made by Waffen Werke Brunn, aka BRNO. 1943 was the first year of K98k production at this facttory and about 220,000 rifles were produced before production ceased. Your serial number should be 4 digits with a single letter suffix- 7390 (Lowest observed)
    and 9864u (highest observed). Most of these rifles were delivered with laminated wood stocks and had the "cupped" type buttplate. These were very good quality rifles- well machined, finished, and blued. I hope this helps you.
