Recently bought a "sporterized" k98 Mauser that apparently came out from Bubba's Kitchen Gunshop. I had to throw the old ugly stock in the trash, drill/tap again, rework the bolt handle, Duracoat the receiver and bottom metal and re-barrel it in .308 Win.
Started off like this:
Finished:
Features:
1944 German K98 Mauser action/Modified bolt.
Leupold one piece base and rings.
Boyds Classic Stock, painted dark forest green, textured.
Wilson Heavy Sportster 26" barrel, .308 Win.
Winchester 70 style safety modification.
Timney Featherweight trigger.
Leatherwood 4-16x50 scope.
NC Star compact bipod.
Military style leather sling.
Uncle Mike's sling swivels.
Duracoat receiver/bottom metal finish.
I do plan to upgrade some things. I am not pleased with the scope so I will be saving some money to buy a Vortex, Leupold or Night Force scope. I also want a Harris bipod and monopod, a Richards Microfit target stock and a Tubb's performance firing pin assembly. For now it will do like it is.
