Looking to trade my German K98 Mauser. It's numbers matching, except for the new manufacture stock. Made at Brno, CZ under occupation. I bought it with a sporterized stock and put on a repro stock. I acquired the bayonet later, not matching but year matches. Fires great and has all the correct waffen marks. Was told it was a Kreigsmodel, but I'm unsure.

Mainly looking for HK rifles for trade. Ok with clones (PTR, Zenith, etc). SL8 or HK93 would be ideal.

Do you have a ballpark value on the K98 ?

My monetary valuation feels higher than it should be, but $1400 is what it's worth to me. Hence the trade request.

Kreigsmodel would have been 1945 dated and different front ring setup. Your bayonet appears to be Portuguese contract. Handsome piece.

Thanks for the clarification! I've heard a lot of diff info about it. I know bayonet has cyrilic writing and "1944" stamped on it. I'm not a Mauser guy, hence why I'm looking to trade for something in my wheelhouse.

The bayonet is a Yugoslavian M1948 bayonet, with the 44 being the factory or enterprise (Preduzece 44) it was made at. Works on a K98K, but deserves to be on a Yugoslavian M48.

Yes, also handsome price for what it is .

Here is some more background on late war Dot k98k rifles. Main point is that many higher serials were actually assembled in 45.

That looks like it. I can still get the butchered stock back and does have the stamped front band.

And like I said, I know my price is high. Just seeing if someone has a roller gun they just don't want to look at anymore.

What's butchered about the stock? I have a few repair pieces for k98 stocks. Got pictures? Still got the cupped buttplate? I also have a decent post war Czech stock which would be technically for a dou 45 rifles. That's if anyone is interested .

The buttplate is missing and someone cut off the extension that the cup goes over. I can look and see if I can get pics.
