A few weeks ago, I acquired a German WW2 Mauser byf 43 K98k that had been sporterized. I'm guessing that it was converted sometime in the '60s or '70s based on the look of the sport stock.
Normally I don't give these sport conversions a second look because they are usually drilled and tapped, bolt handles modified, and often have other issues where gunsmith Bubba had his way with the rifle. This one however drew a second look from me because the action was untouched from original and still had matching numbers parts, bolt, trigger guard, floorplate and everything else behind the barrel.
