*MAUSER 98K SNIPER RIFLE WITH HIGH TURRET MOUNT AND DIALYTAN SCOPE.

*MAUSER 98K SNIPER RIFLE WITH HIGH TURRET MOUNT AND DIALYTAN SCOPE. SN 33905. Cal. 8mm with 24″ bbl. This high turret mount German sniper rifle has matching metal but not wood. Manufactured by Mauser (BYF). It is accompanied by a sling, scope caps and a non-matching (matches with bayonet) scabbard with less common web frog. The rifle is in overall good condition. This particular rifle has the less common solid wood stock as opposed to the laminate that is generally seen on the 98K and has the cupped buttplate. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Rifle is in good condition but appears to have seen fairly extensive use. Receiver retains approximately 80% of the original finish with the balance fading to gray. Bbl shows somewhat better with between 85-90% of the blue showing with the only significant wear being between the front band and front sight. Turret mount shows better than 90% of its finish with the scope showing significantly less at about 70% with some light rust forming. There is one or two small patches of pitting on the externals of the scope but the optics are quite clear. Scope caps appear correct but may be reproductions. Front bbl band has turned to a gray patina while the middle band retains approximately 90% of finish. Triggerguard and floorplate assembly show better than 95% of orig finish and the buttplate is just beginning to show patina. Sling is possibly a reproduction, if not it is significantly newer than the rifle itself. Solid wood buttstock and handguard are in good to very good condition with the buttstock having several moderate dings that don’t really detract for its appearance as they are for the most part under the sling. All inspector and subinspector marks appear to be present. Bayonet is in excellent condition with the scabbard being good. 4-34069 BK96 (4,500-7,500)
