thefinegunmaker,

I hear you. The market is flooded with WWII German 98’s and most are nicely price. However, as you say the trouble is finding a “good” one that will not eat up your time is reworking the action into a fine sporter. The trouble I have run into, is finding one that was made early enough to be of high quality yet not so old and mistreated that it is rust pitted below the wood line.

Most sellers of such weapons are not willing to let me look at the underside of the action. My brother-in-law tells me that the gun shows around Alexandra, Virginia are flooded with K98’s still packed in grease… And yet I’m back to my original problem. Where do you find a 98 that was made early enough to be of high quality (like a DWM ‘09 Argentine) yet not so old and mistreated that it is rust pitted below the wood line? Any thoughts?

To a point you can never have too much horsepower!
