SOLD - Polish Mauser K98 AZ Rifle

Description

3/30/22 - This is a very nice example of the Polish-made version of the original WW1-era German K98 AZ rifle, manufactured in the Radom arsenals. This one was arsenal refurbished, likely for re-issue during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930's. The crest on the receiver was ground, the gun was refinished, and many of the parts were replaced. No import marks. Matching parts to the receiver include the stock, floor plate, trigger group, and front sight. All other parts are mismatched. The metal parts have retained most of their matte black finish, but there is noticeable discoloration on the barrel and around the muzzle. The stock is nice - only minor dings here and there. The bore has good rifling, but there is minor frosting in the grooves.
