Howdy folks,

I traded this rifle a few months ago. It has the barrel and the scope of a G98. I read that germans used hunting rifle in the early days of ww1, cause of the lack of sniper rifles. Of course, those sporter rifles were also used by the other camp, as you can see on this pic, from the 1930 movie "All quiet on the western front".
I never fired it; I bought it as a 8x60, but the bolt doesn't lock, a tiny bit lacks. Certainly born as a 8x57, I think it's badly re-chambered in 8x60s after the Versailles treaty. I have to look after this...
There is no mark, apart from the one on the pic, re-blued; what are your thoughts on this?
