SOLD - Steyr (bnz) K98k - 1944 mfg

Description

1/8/25 - For sale is a K98k made by Steyr in 1944. This example is well worn and has some discolorations on the metal. The overall condition is good but it looks like a prior owner had tried to add a straw finish to the receiver so it has a gold-like hue to it. Most of the finish has worn away. The stock looks to be a Menzel replacement stock as there's a C stamp between the buttplate and wrist. There is a Heer H stamp on the right side below the takedown disk. The serial numbers are hand stamped on barrel bands and barrel as observed in this serial block, but the receiver & trigger guard serial have been restamped. The letter suffix is a capital F and a different font. The stock and handguard are stamped the same way as the receiver so we believe it is not original. The bore is bright with great rifling but there is a slight frosting at the muzzle. The stock has minor handling marks and dings, but no cracks or breaks.
