This rifle became the main German battle rifle of World War II, and was exported by the Germans to several other countries.After the war, these rifles ended up in the arsenals of many nations giving rise to many interesting varieties and variations which are too numerous for treatment here.A Russian capture is the most commonly commercially available K-98k in the United States.
The Russians refurbished these captured rifles after the war re-bluing the metal and refinishing the wood with a kind of deeply stained shellac. The Russians loved to electropencil non-matching parts as if they were matched and would mark each capture with an X mark on the receiver. Unmarked Model 1916 rifles have 22 barrels, tangent leaf sights,.Mauser Pocket Pistols of the 1910 design. Mauser 98 S Series Of IdentificationThis is one of a series of identification guides for small arms.. Mauser Stoeger.M48 Rifle. ![]() Mauser 98 S Serial Numbers OnOriginal Factory matching serial numbers on all rifle parts..Production began in late 1940 at serial number 700,000, as an extension of the serial number range of the Mauser Model 1934 pistol. The similar FN rifle would have had the same action, but would have been barreled and stocked by FN. Discussion in General Sako Discussions started by jlane330, Nov 1, 2017. I believe, based on the serial number, its probably from 53-54 time frame, but cant confirm. Took it to my local gun shop and all they could do was look up the value in a book (which seemed VERY low, btw). Its in beautiful condition, a quality piece with gorgeous bluing. The original butt pad is there, but collapsed from sitting in a safe. Does this add value to the rifle After owning it many years, Im seriously considering selling it. I can never drag this rifle thru the woods on my elk hunts - simply too nice. Mauser 98 S Full Aluminum BeddingI also have a Hogue overmolded stock with full aluminum bedding that fits thatd Id sell separately, or together. Yours is one of the nicest Sakos built on the FN Mauser action Ive seen. Im not well versed on the values of this model, but with the extra stock Im guessing it will get the attention of many a Sako lover. Others here may be able to give you an estimate of its market value, but it really boils down to what you(a willing seller) and a willing buyer agree to. Try looking for this model on the auctionsale sites for some comparables. It uses the Sako trigger with trigger safety instead of the earlier FN bolt (wing) safety as found on FN-Sakos from the late 1940s through about 1957. The primary difference in your rifle and the contemporaneous rifle sold under the FN brand is the Sako barrel and Sako stock. For whatever reason these rifles dont command the market respect they would seem to deserve. The.375 and.300 HH chamberings do bring somewhat more money than the.30-06 and.270 in the same gun. Sako also made a few other calibers in this same rifle for distribution in Europe like the 8x60 and the 8x60S and maybe a couple of other metric calibers which werent imported to the U.S. Ive seen nice.30-06s priced around 600 languish for lack of a buyer. To me, it looks even better in person (pics of guns are tough). Ive looked at the auction sites but honestly havent seen a similar rifle come up.
