K98k's on the cheap

[AKguy1985]

I would like an all matching k98. Willing to trade for one.

Good luck on that. Keep an eye out on gunboards.com. I'd be leery of anything on gunbroker unless an expert looked the pics over first.

They look better than Yugo 98/48s because they still have the codes and original stocks. Hell the stocks would bring 200 on ebay. The bolts 150. I have to commend allan for not parting them out. These rifles have a neat history and dont need any restoration. Save the cold blue and sandpaper for the old monkey wards 22s and shotguns.

Cold blue? Sir, I am greatly offended that you would suggest That cold blue would be allowed to stain the surface of a K98 in my possession. I have spent many hours rust bluing the magnificent K98s that I own and love. In my opinion, with the proofs ruined, they make great shooters, and I like my shooters/"keepers" to look nice.
Now a vet bring back with codes intact, etc...THAT should not be restored.

Again, just my opinion, I know plenty will disagree.
