| That K98k was manufactured jointly by Gustloff Werke & Mauser/Borsigwalde in 1943.
Do you want to sell it or trade? |

| Wartime production is not "inferior" across the board. Such production is merely "suspect" and is not recommended for the basis of a $2K project, especially if it involves rechambering to a more powerful cartridge.
The rifle in the photo looks to be in decent shape, and as such may be a collector's item. Assuming headspace is OK, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot them in the original 8x57. |

| Thanks for the help men. Doug, it's at a local auction and if it's in decent shape and the price is right I'll bid. I'll let you know if I get it and want to move it on.  |

| Bob check to see if the serial numbers match or not. That has a great bearing on its value. |
