Average to high price. Real collector models will be higher. Look on the receiver, by the rear sight. Look for an 'X' on the receiver. If it's there, it was a Russian 'capture' gun. Check the bore, alot are still equipt with strong rifling, but the bores are dark. Post any letter codes, such as BYF, or BSW.
I have a 1937 BSW, a bicycle mfg who also made guns. To love ru season 1 episode 1. Mine wears Wehrmact and nazi rhunes, as well as govt. Proofs from the time frame. It's matching as well, and shoots to minute of combatant as designed.
Early guns 'should' wear walnut stocks, but for the most part, most K98k's wore the laminate stock. Watch the ammo that you use in it should you purchase it, as alot of it was/is corrosive, or has corrosive primers. The 8x57 is between the.308 and the 30-06 in the power range, and should you choose to hunt with it, there is some hunting ammo available commercially, but handloading will make any 98 ring mauser shine.
This is mine. These sold for 200 bucks several years ago. An all original bayonet if matching numbers and nice makers mark is worth 150 alone.
Even an unmatched bayo and scabbard if worth 80 easy. 400 would be a good buy in today's market, even for a Russian Capture. Make sure you check all numbers.
The Germans marked even screws with the last two serial nos. The firing pin is marked and extractor, there are many serial numbers on a K98.
I paid 650 for a lightly sanded CE all matching no import several years ago and its a 1400 dollar to 1600 dollar gun today. They are not importing any more of these so grab it. Also check out Mitchell's Mausers. I have a Yugoslavian surrender Mauser.
Yugoslavia was the only country to self liberate from German occupation. The Yugoslavian forces took possession of several thousand K98's. Most were 'reconditioned' at one of a few Yugoslavian factories. All the visible and easy to get to German markings were ground away. If you completely strip down the rifle, you can still find places where some of the insignia remain; such is my K98 with matching serial numbers on the receiver and bolt.
Some of these have a very high collector value if the remaining insignia can be used to determine originating factory and manufacture date. I have a bayonet as well but not with a matching serial number.
The price you've been quoted seems fair, but you can get some very nice ones with matching numbers at Mitchell's for around the same price. Ive had several old 98 mausers over the years, including GEW98's K98's and even one of those Yugo models with the short action. All of them were tough as nails, and probably the worst one I had was the yugo. If you can get a minty K98 for that price I would buy it. It will only go up in price. What you may find hard to get is the little cleaning rods. If you can ever find one.get it.
My personal favorite is my pre-WWII commercial action that actually says 'mauser' across the top, with a VZ24 barrel, a cut down sporterized K98 laminated stock, with a globe front sight and a timminey trigger.and it has the original cross hatched sling on it too! Its the most accurate iron sighted rifle I have ever owned and I have dropped many a wild pig and deer with it, and it looks for all the world like a rigby african plains rifle. Just get the bloody thing. Prices vary a bit but bottom line is, they aren't making any more of them so it's unlikely you're going to lose on the deal over time. If the numbers are good and the barrel is reasonable I can't see how you can lose. The Mauser 98 is still probably the best bolt action money can buy.
Forget all the modern crap. It's either a cheapened knockoff version of a '98 (M 70) or just plain cheap (Savage, Rem.) or in the case of a lot of the products coming out of western Europe, overly engineered and unnecessarily complex, and still not as good. I bought and sold Russian Captures (RCs) multiple times, about a dozen, saving the earnings to get a Winchester M1 Garand, which I eventually did.
I also learned that most RCs weren't battlefield rifles, but were captured in warehouses. I was buying them for less than $200 and selling for about $300. That was about 7-8 years ago. Later I bought a Mauser duv (Berlin-Lubecker) 1942, all original except the bolt, a vet bringback. He explained that the bolts were removed from when they took prisoners and put into a pile. If they wanted a rifle as a souvenir, they just grabbed a bolt out of the pile. The Lubeckers were made only shortly into 1942, when the plant changed to G42and G43 production.
As I recall IO paid $400 for it out the vet's collection, and thought it was a deal then, about 5 years ago. Now that the RCs have dried up and no longer are being imported, thanks to our overseer-in-chief, $450 for a matching Mauser is a steal, IMHO, no matter the maker, as long as it isn't a Yugo.
I have a guy selling a 1941 German k98 in 8mm Mauser, matching numbers with a factory bayonet for $450, as I know nothing about these rifles, is that a good deal? I've always wanted an old Mauser rifle. Here's a picture I would suspect this one. There is no sight guard.
All matching? How about the stock? Does that number match? If not you are about $100 overpriced. If it does, about $200 under except why no sight guard?
Does it have the ramrod? Chances are it is not collector grade, about $700. Receiver, Barrel, Bolt, Bolt handle stock and Bayonet all numbered the same? Check the stamping for alterations. Condition looks NRA good at best, not VG. Can't tell if it's even good without a bore shot.
Remember there is a difference between the worth or value and what you can actually sell something for. You have not exactly specified whether you are looking for a shooter or hunting weapon or just a military rifle to add to your collection. If you plan to actually hunt with it you can do much better with more modern 'used' rifles from pawn shops etc.
The main reason is accuracy due to better design and the ability to easily mount scopes to the rifles and a choice of more popular calibers. Today in most cities the pawn shops are overflowing with guns given up by folks out of work and losing their homes to foreclosure etc.
They are selling them cheap. I bought a Rem 700 in 7mag with Nikon scope and leather sling for $325 and I have seen even better deals since. That said, my first centerfire hunting rifle was a Yugo 8mm for $100 about 15 years ago and I dont think there is a better deal anywhere for a close range (125 yds or less) centerfire hunter. Just be sure to use full power european loaded commercial ammo or else you will be getting just 30/30 power from US loaded ammo.
( or load your own ) I enjoy my Mausers and enjoy disassembling the bolt as much as I do disassembling my 1911 pistol. I dont know if anyone mentioned it but go on GunBroker and GunsAmerica the two biggest on line auction sites and check out the market for Mausers. Look at the actual sell prices and not the 'asking' prices.
The word 'Mauser' can refer either to the German weapons manufacturer, the Mauser-Werke Oberndorf Waffensysteme GmbH, or to the series of bolt-action rifles the Mauser-Werke manufacturered for the German armed forces. Mauser exported their design to several nations, so identification of the nationality of a Mauser rifle is important for collectors. Mauser also manufactured a series of pistols and semi-automatic rifles which are much easier to identify than the ubiquitous m-93 and m-98 series rifles. Weapon Identification Examine the rifle for an import stamp located along the barrel; this stamp should state the weapon's caliber, model and country of origin. Night at the museum full movie in hindi free download. Many imported rifles are stamped according to federal regulations and that stamp will settle your identification process quickly. Examine the rifle for any other identifying markings on the receiver and on the stock; the original armorer may have stamped the rifle with markings identifying the factory of manufacture.
These markings are often used to identify surplus rifles. Match the cartridge the rifle fires with a likely country of origin and model. Mauser-pattern bolt-actions were manufactured in countries including Germany, Turkey, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Belgium, Argentina and Chile, so the round the rifle fires can help you identify the rifle's origins and model, like the 1891 Argentine, 1909 Argentine, Spanish 1893, Chilean 1895 and the Swedish 1896. Mausers fire 7.65x53mm Argentine/Belgian, the 7x57mm Spanish/Chilean, the 6.5x55mm Swedish and the 7.92x57mm German. Determine whether your rifle is a Gewehr 98k or Karabiner 98k if your rifle fires 7.92x57mm, as these rifles fired 8 mm Mauser. These rifles were the famed standard-issue rifles of the German army through the first and second World Wars; should the rifle have a two- or three-alphanumeric code on the top of the receiver, the rifle is most likely a Gewehr 98k or Karabiner 98k.
These numbers are the ordinance codes of German manufacturers.
The 'bnz' production code was assigned by Organization Todt to production of German war material at the Steyr factories in what had been Austria during most of WW II. It also appears on war material made at factories under Steyr supervision, such as the Radom factory in Poland. The 'Eagle' mark over a 'WaA XXX' is the German military inspector's acceptance stamp.
It is called a 'Waffen Amt'. The 'XXX' number was the number of the inspection office assigned by the German Army's Quartermaster Corps. Some factories had multiple offices, and some articles were made up of parts inspected at different factories, explaining multiple WaA numbers on a single firearm. This Mauser should be a Karbiner 98k. Most of the SS marked Kar. 98k's made by Steyr are dated with a '44' (1944) date code.
Other factories made Kar. 98k's for the SS earlier, but were diverted to StGw 44 production in early 1944. Steyr, Mauser ('byf', 'svw') and Brno ('dot') were the last major producers of 98k's in 1944 and the Mauser and Brno output was dedicated to the German Army. No Polish 'bnz' Radom Model 98/40's were made for the SS.
Value will depend upon condition and matching parts. The eagle over 'WaA77' is the Steyr main factory Waffen Amt acceptance proof.
Late in 1944, a number of German factories stopped dating with a '44' and used just a single '4', presumably to eliminate the labor to make the extra '4'. The other markings are perplexing. I have never seen a 'bnz' in a shield. This manufacturer's code always appears as three lower case letters, usually over a two digit date code. The serial number should be 4 digits and a script letter on the receiver and barrel. The last two digits of the serial number should appear on most of the smaller parts. At the beginning of 1944, most German factories were stamping the full serial number on the bolt handle root.
By the end of 1944, most of the Kar.98k bolt roots were only stamped with the last two digits of the serial number. Photos of the markings would be helpful in further identifing your rifle. The plain '77' is probably the same as WaA77. It sounds like your rifle was made late in 1944 when there was considerable confusion at the Steyr plant.
They were struggling to make their production quotas and the Speer organization authorized all kinds of shortcuts. It was bombed by USAF several times during 1944 and all the machinery from the Radom plant in Poland was shipped there in the middle of that year. EMail me photos of the markings and I can tell you more. I tried to email you some photos, but it came back.
By Marc Cammack, bonus video by Nutnfancy World War II Nazi K98 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle with Bayonet. Bangor, Maine -(Ammoland.com)- Today one of the most popular and sought after military rifles is the German 8mm Mauser K98 bolt action rifle. The K98 was the standard issue rifle for one of the most notorious and violent regimes in history, Nazi Germany. The rifle went on to see use in other conflicts after World War Two and was even used ironically by the Israelis. The K98 is also regarded as one of the finest military bolt action rifles in history. During World War One the German Army’s standard rifle was the Gewehr 98 Mauser in 8mm Mauser. The Gew 98 action was the final product of several years of development and earlier Mauser designs such as the Model 1889, 1893, and 1896 rifles.
The Gew 98 proved to be a reliable weapon but it was long and heavy. Carbine versions of the Gew 98 had been issued in smaller numbers to specialized German troops during World War One but they never became standardized.
Mauser Model GEW 98 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle. Mauser Model 1924 Bolt Action Rifle. Because Germany lost World War One, their military and armament were severely limited under the Treaty of Versailles. Following the war both FN in Belgium and the Czechs began producing a shortened version of the 98 Mauser called the Model 1924. The Model 1924 was sold all over the world and was a success.
In Germany the Mauser Oberndorf factory made a shortened Mauser called the Standard Modell with improved sights. To get around the Treaty of Versailles the Standard Modell was intended for export rather than domestic sale, however some of these guns were bought within Germany. Pre-World War I German Erfurt KAR 98 Carbine. After Adolf Hitler took power of Germany in 1933, he began a rearmament program for the German Army. The German Post Office (Deutsche Reichspost) used an improved version of the Standard Modell for security. This rifle had a turned down bolt handle, and had the same barrel length as the Standard Modell. Further improvements and changes were made to the Reichspost Rifle which resulted in the K98 rifle, which was adopted as a the standard rifle of the German Army in 1935.
The “K” in K98 stands for Karabiner which is the German word for Carbine or shortened rifle. K98s were produced by a wide variety of companies including Erma, Mauser Oberndorf, J.P. Sauer, and Steyr. Earlier K98s often had a number code for their manufacturer on the receiver such as S/27 for Erma, while later guns had letter codes such as BNZ for Steyr produced guns. Over 14 million were produced by the end of World War Two, making it one of the most widely produced infantry rifles of all time. Prior to World War Two K98s were exported to a variety of countries including Portugal and China.
When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the K98 would have the chance to go to war. The K98 saw widespread use by the German Wehrmacht, (Army) Kriegsmarine (Navy) Luftwaffe, (Air Force) and Waffen SS. The gun was used in every major battle and theater where Germany fought including North Africa, Eastern Europe, France, and the Balkans. Although there were semi automatic and select fire weapons available later in the war, such as the G43 and MP43, there were never enough to supplant the K98 as the standard service rifle. WWII Nazi K98 Mauser Turret Sniper Rifle with Matching Scope.
Some K98 rifles were fitted with 1.5x power ZF41 scopes. These were not intended to be sniper rifles but rather to be given to infantrymen who demonstrated superior marksmanship abilities. This concept is similar to the role of designated marksmen in the US Military today who have specialized rifles like M14s, or the MK12 Special Purpose rifle.
Other K98 rifles were set up as sniper rifles. K98 sniper rifles had a variety of mounts and optics. These optics were larger than the ZF41 and varied from 4x power to 8x power scopes. As the tide of war changed against Nazi Germany, changes were made to simplify K98 rifle production. Download ninja saga offline mod apk terbaru. More stamped parts such as the front bands, and magazine floorplates were used instead of earlier milled parts. In late 1944 a further simplified K98 was introduced called the Kriegsmodell. Kriegsmodell rifles lacked bayonet lugs, and disassembly discs in their stocks.
These rifles also featured a rougher finish than earlier rifles. Some late rifles had some features of Kreigsmodell rifles but not all and they are known today as “Semi-Kreigsmodell” K98s. Late War Steyr-Daimler “bnz45” Code 98K Bolt Action Rifle, “Kriegsmodell” Configuration. In 1945 a crude and simple version of the K98 was produced for the German People’s Army (Volksstrum) called the Volksgewehr.
The Volksgewehr was made by Steyr, (Code BNZ) and the rifle had a very simple rear sight. This rifle looks similar to many “Sporterized” rifles seen today due to its lack of a hand guard and forestock. The Volkstrum consisted of both old and young Germans, and they were meant to be a last defense against the invading Allied Armies. After World War Two the K98 was still used by other nations, despite more advanced arms being available. Israel used many K98 Mausers in 7.62mm NATO in several conflicts such as the Six Day War.
Yugoslavia had captured many of the weapons and refurbished them, and so did the Soviet Union. The Soviets provided K98 Mausers to other Communist nations in their fight against the Western Powers. Scarce Late WWII Nazi “Volksgewehr” Last Ditch VK-98 Steyr Rifle.
Today prices for K98 Mausers in the American market are on the rise. Non import marked and all original matching examples fetch very high prices. Rarer manufacturers and variations of the K98 command higher prices. Sniper rifles are a popular and valuable version of the K98, and as a result are often faked. More common K98s sometimes have faked matching parts in an attempt to raise the rifles price. Also faked are rare markings, and it always a good idea to do a great deal of research before spending a lot of money on a collectible rifle.
Mauser Rifle Serial Numbers
For a shooter or reenactor looking for a more affordable rifle, there are other options available. Yugoslavian and Russian refurbished examples bring much less than non import marked examples.
Yugoslavian K98s had their Nazi markings removed and new markings such as a unique crest applied. Finally they had new sets of serial numbers applied to their parts.
The Russians mixed parts to rebuild their captured K98 rifles, and refinished them. They sometimes peened the Swastika markings on the rifles, and put “X” marks on the receivers of the rifles. The Russians often numbered the K98’s bolts with electro pencil. Finally they often applied a Shellac finish to the stocks like that seen on rebuilt Russian Mosin Nagant rifles.

Do you have any information about the use of the K-98 on U-Boats. My research to the contrary of most reveals the standard loadout of small arms on u-boats was four 8MM MG-(MG’-34/two twin MG-81Z/MG-15 twin or four single ) Machine Guns for close in under 200 meter air defense, 2 machine pistol (MG-28/MP-34/MP-4), and 6 7.65MM Mauser Pistols (M1934 or Hsc) and later in the war 10 Mauser 7.65MM Pistols, 1 Walther Flare Pistol, 1 Watlher Twin Barreled Flare Pistol and 1 Rocket Type Line Thowing Pistol. 2/3 or 5 Mauer K-98 Rifles depending on the type of U-Boat may have been carried as well but this is hard to document as of now.

The rifle was part of a well known Polish firearms collection of Mr. Revolinski of Cody, Wyoming (purchased by my family member in 1992). It was custom built for Mr. Revolinski by a famous American gunmaker Paul Jaeger. The latter first operated in Jenkintown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, and them moved to Tennessee. His rifles are highly prized on both, collector and sporting markets.
He is no longer in business. The rifle was converted to a high-grade sporter from a standard military wz.29 configuration. There are following markings on the receiver ring: 'Polish Eagle, F.B. Radom 1935'('F.B.' = Fabryka Broni = The Arms Factory in Radom, Poland).

The magazine floor plate displays a mismatched serial number (a Nazi occupation, Radom made part with 'Eagle 77'). No serial numbers are stamped on the remaining parts of the rifle.
Strong, 98-type action. The rifle still has original Radom manufactured barrel in 7.92 x 57 mm caliber.
Beautiful, high-gloss blue finish. Original, Radom manufactured bolt, was modified in a sporting style (the bolt handle was turned down; checkering was added on the ball; faded Polish Eagle is still visible on the ball; Polish arsenal markings are present on the handle).

Unusual German Kar. 98AZ Style Mauser Carbine (6.9 x 57 mm) Caliber: 6.9 x 57 mm Price: $1650 Inventory # mau 0685 Pictures: DESCRIPTION: Unusual German Kar. 98AZ style carbine in 6.9 x 57 mm caliber!
The carbine has a very short, 17.25 inch barrel (rather than 23.2 inch long barrel found on K98AZ). The overall length of the carbine is only 37.25 inch (compare to 43 inch overall length of K98AZ). The lower part of the barrel (under the stock) displays following marking: 'Crown over B, Crown over U, Crown over G, 6.9 mm 57, 4/27, Crown Stm G, N 11gr'.

Serial# 21XXL. Scarce Brazilian M.1908 Pressure Test Mauser Rifle Caliber:.308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) Price: $900 Inventory # mau0624 Pictures: DESCRIPTION: This is a scarce Brazilian Mauser M.1908 pressure test rifle made probably by Fabrica De Itajuba, Brasil.
The receiver was manufactured by DWM, Oberndorf a/N, Germany, as indicated by markings on the left side of the rail. The receiver was modified by adding a large ring placed over the chamber and a copper crusher gauge attached over a hole in the chamber. The rifle is fitted with a heavy, 23.5 inch long pressure test barrel. The barrel has a second large ring with a copper crusher gauge. The bolt has a special head for pressure testing. The rifle was completely refurbished and rebarreled by a Brazilian arsenal.
Originally these rifles were issued in 7 mm Mauser. This pressure test rifle is in.308 Winchester. Metal was refinished by Brazilian arsenal. The new metal finish is baked enamel over Parker, which may indicate that the conversion took place in 1950/1960. This type of rifle was used for testing the strength of the receiver and barrel with various powders and loads.
