It has no Russian "x" on it and no dinged out waffen amps and no import marks on it. There's this local gun shop that has a mismatch k98k its a 44 BYF but appears to have no matching parts and even appears to have the a part from a "GEW" and a stock with no bolt take down hole in it. Somwhere in the middle, something I can take to the range 1-2 times a year but also in pretty good condition, would prefer wartime german version (non yugo or capture) What are you looking for? A shooter, or a high grade collector piece? Even Israel used German K98s, most have been rebarreled to 7.62 NATO, but often retain some original markings. There are other variations, Yugo reworks which may be completely scrubbed, Romanian which are generally matching but well worn and normally have Nazi markings defaced. Every Nazi era rifle also had manufacturer codes, some codes and years are less common than others, and can increase the value, as can other small markings (that unfortunately can be easily faked) like SS Runes can further increase the value. A all matching rifle these days starts around $1K.
#Price for a mitchell mauser k98 value serial
Pretty much every part on a WW2 Mauser is marked with the rifle serial number, the more that match, generally speaking, the higher the value. Strip the guns down, throw all the parts in big piles, dip everything in a hot blue tank, slap some ugly shellac on the stock, and throw it all back together until the next time they decide it needs refurbished. The Soviet Union captured millions of rifles, and refurbished them over the years in make-work projects. $400 would be for a Soviet rework, refinished mixmaster. $20K would be for an all matching sniper rifle with some sort of provenance, like capture papers, period photos of the rifle with the veteran listed on the papers, and a documented trail of where the rifle has been since captured. The partisans on Octoreoccupied the factory and found 15,000 Gew 98 barrels and other parts and began assembling rifles.Depending on condition and rarity, it can range anywhere from about $400 to over $20,000. They felt most of the arms found were of second class. They closed the Uzice factory soon after taking it over April 15, 1941, and focused on industries related to aircraft production in other Yugoslavian factories. However the Nazis never actually produced rifles in Yugoslavia as far as I know. I have one that i bought from a forum member a few years ago and its an M48. What you do get is a new shooter grade gun.which you can use and shoot and hunt maybe (a Slovenian acquaintance of mine hunts with it in Alaska). I was in the last generation of recruits that went through this process training on an M48 and had an SKS issued to me in Basic Training for 3 months. They also were used in classrooms for demonstration and learning the gun and disassembly (we had preparatory classes for 2 years to prepare you for mandatory service) as well as going to the range and shooting them when you "Graduate". So although he claims this you dont have a guarantee that you ll get a 100% never fired gun as Mitchells refinishes some of them and nowadays most i believe.Īs they became obsolete with the SKS being introduced in the 50s because it was a semi and became the standard Yugo Army Rifle until 1972 (AKs started being issued) they still remained in storage and ultimately were sold to Mitchell and surplus dealers for sales in Canada,US and such. They have no collector value as he embellishes the story behind them and he s been known to re stamp old guns and surplus guns that were used (most were in storage but some issued during the 90s Yugo Wars). I ve seen pictures of him purchasing them from the Macedonian Army depots in the early 90s when i lived over there. Yes, The Nazis did take over the production in the 1941-1944 time periods but these guns were made after Tito`s conflict with Stalin in the 1948-1953 tim period. Many of Mitchells mausers come from Ex-Yugoslavia successor states where they were sitting in surplus National Guard armories since the early 50s. Here is a bit of information on Mitchell as i am somewhat familiar of where he s been getting them for years.
