I got this rifle today it is a DWM GEW98 mauser rebarreled 30-06 w williams peep. Being a novice could somebody look at the pics and tell me the signifiance of the action and bbl markings/stampings ? it is dated 1916 and the bore looks great and i already cycled 30-06 ammo thru and all works well . i paid $275 for it , did i pay too much ? any help welcome. here is link to pics http://picasaweb.google.com/Doughboy164/DWMGew98Mauser3...authkey=SplSAKw01vI# Thank You ej Africa Bug " Embrace the bite , live for adventure " EJ Carter 2011 | ||

It is as it you see it....all is marked on the gun You got a functioning .30-06 for $275 and it appears to have a new barrel and stock looks quite good.... I could not see the safety or the bolt to determine if they need altering to attach a scope but for sure the drill and tap for bases will need to be done if you want a scope attached. All in all it's a good sound shooter in .30-06....what more can one say? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Looks like you got yourself a solid workhorse of a rifle. The proof will be in how well it shoots. Thats the fun part for me. I notice it needs to be drilled and tapped for scope mounts. Do you know what you are going have installed yet? | |||

I didn't answer your question about the cost. I look at it this way, it probably cost more to supply the wood and have that stock fitted and finished than what you paid for the entire gun. Jeff | |||

If it looks as good in person as in the pictures I'd have payed 275$ without second thought. Nice rifle. | |||
