This is my rain/loaner gun, an indescriminate Mauser 98, bought at a N.E. gunshow 35 years ago for $100, already sporterized with a rebarrel to .30-06 & a reblue, and a restock in a Bishop/Fajen type aftermarket sporter stock.
A peep sight installation & a new/low bolt handle finished it off. It's not much, but since it will keep every shot it holds well under an inch @ 100yds, with the peep, it's not going anwhere else anytime soon. . |

When I was checking out stocks on boyds they show the different screw spacing mine measures somewheres between 7 5/8- 11/16 not 7 7/8 like the standard mauser 98
this is where I read it. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Produc...Show=TechSpecs I wish I were wrong, I really wanted to put a synthetic stock on it. Last edited by RoyP; July 6, 2010 at 08:23 PM. |

This is the only mauser as close as original that I have...spanish mauser guardia civil arsenal converted to .308 .
I purchase this for $100 from a game warden (... poacher rifle??? ) the previous owner removed the rear sight, drill & tap for a 2 pce scope base, I clean up the wood stock and metal, fill the upper hand guard sight opening with similar wood and install a peep sight... till I decided what to do. As is is a good shooter, but eventually when the inspiration will come, I would build a sporter out of it. _______ roberto |

How about a 1908 Brazilian Mauser, 100% original. No importation marks, and still has the armory numbers on the stock.

WWII M98 BringBack
Here is a DOT43 my father brought home. All numbers match. Have not shot it in 29+ years, but when I did I could pick off pop cans at 100yds.

98 F.N. made in 51 mounted in an H&R Ultra stock with Obermeyer sporter barrel in 30-06. Has stripper clip hump ground off. Timney trigger with narrowed trigger guard. Wing safety removed and bolt shroud replaced Needs a reblue now but still shoots as great as it ever did. Tiny cloverleafs at 100 yds.

in Africa the k98's are very popular. i have seen variants of this action used for a custom 505 Gibbs. i have two k98's a 308 Eusta/Voere and a 300H&H custom. the custom is an original k98 Oberndorf-Mauser made in 1902. although the custom is special i have a special fondness for the 308. i inherited it from my father and i shot my first buck with it. it also took 20 wart-hogs 2 kudu 4 blesbuck and 4 sprinbuck and countless smaller stuff like jackal so far for 2010.it is also deadly accurate, to a point that you have to put in some real effort before it misses.

Here's a commercial Oberndorf in .30-06. The receiver sight was there when I bought it. Not worth a whole lot now with the extra holes but it's the ideal rifle for me, and it shoots like it's laser guided.
My Husqvarna 9.3x57 built on a commercial M96 action. Serial puts it in the 1934 range. Built before they started ruining them with scope mounts. Also one of the nicest pieces of wood I've seen on a Husqvarna. |

Standard - well almost
Here is a picture of a few of mine. The 1934 banner is a 'railway' marked rifle. High polish from end to end.
The 1907 DWM is a 'rifle crunch' war2 Danzig arsenal rebuild. Those crazy huns even milled off the parade hook on the forward band to keep it matched up. All parts are matching numbered and come from five of the manufacturers of the 98s during the war. The exterior has seen weather - bore is in great shape - but I just could not turn down a receiver that early on a war2 gun. Not to mention you don't see these rebuilds every day. Also, here's a photo of a display that includes 98s I put up every few years at local shows. The vets - fewer now - enjoy it and I really enjoy hearing their stories. Makes it worth all the work.
