Mauser 98K Valuation Help!

[Bobby Ricigliano]

I have 2 K98's. Both are RC and neither is especially valuable. Both have EP'd matching parts but have many intact WA's. The one that I have shot performed splendidly. Even as a refurbed mixmaster, the action was butter smooth and the rifle is very accurate. 100% reliability in feeding as well as easily busting the primer off any type of milsurp ammo with no hangfires.

I can barely imagine what an all original early or prewar K98 handled like. They are sort of reminiscent of a fine Swiss watch. As much as I love my Mosins, there is no contest on the superior workmanship of the K98.

Whatwhy - I bought it and it is in my collection now, sir.
Sorry.

I have several matching K98's and they are terrific.
But I have handled RC's that are just as good - I know that is heresy, lol, but it is IMO the truth.
My G33-40 is mismatched and flawless.

Thanks for stealing a sale from a fellow calgunner, you have personally made me not want a Mauser anymore.
