The serial number was already in the importers records so ATF requires it to be a new SN. Easiest way is to add a prefix or suffix. On the 937B models it was PB for Portugal B model. on the 937As it's usually an A suffix but I have seen some with an A prefix.

Avoid if you can the auctions with the "VERY RARE" "ULTIMATE" "MINTY" "VERY UNCOMMON" "COLLECTORS HOLY GRAIL" in the title. It's almost a guarantee there's going to be a lot of BS and window dressing in the description. Sure enough, this guys font sizes and color choices would make a circus...

The buyer will be on Reddit soon enough "Hey guys I got this k98k, what can you tell me about it?"

When Atlantic gets more of these in, I highly encourage y'all to grab one. I have no idea how they managed to sell them with all of the extras at that price but that's an amazing deal. To add to what Model said, $1500 is just because of these imports. Before this a 937A was $2500+ and usually in...

Gunbroker is infested with scammers. Avoid non rated sellers when possible UNLESS it's a dealer that takes cards. Mailed payments/paypal/any of that crap = you have no recourse and it's usually a scammer.

Happy Thanksgiving! Even in these weird times, compared to how people lived in the past, living like kings. Room too cold? Turn the heat on. Need an answer to any questions? Google.. want to talk to someone across the world instantly? No problem. Sick? Almost any medicine at hand. Want to travel...

If it matters, it was purely based on random post # and not the picture posted. Google has a random # generator which is pretty quick/easy. More giveaway in the future I'm sure.

Congrats, this is the winner!! I'll send you a PM to get address info. Thanks all for participating, some neat pictures.

If the serial # was already in the importers system, they had to add a suffix or prefix to make a "new" serial number. Not all of the rifles received this treatmet. Nobody likes added stuff but it's really tiny and the alternative was dropping $3000+ for one of the earlier 1990s imports. I kept...

It aint much, but I've got a decent Portuguese contract k98k bayonet that needs a new home. Just as a way of saying thanks for letting a doofus like me be on here. Bayonet pictured is the one being given away. HOW TO ENTER Reply to this thread with either a picture of your k98k with a bayonet...

$750 would be fair for you and the seller. Online it would bring more $800-1000 in my opinion. You'll have a genuine eastern front(or at least taken by the Russians at wars end) rifle even if completely Ruskie refurbished/jumbled parts. Typical for an RC. They are not the trash people once...

Perfect example of why "Millions were made, they'll never be worth nuthin, let them do what they want with their rifle" is BS.

Dark walnut

Went with the blued finish and darker wood this time since my T2 has light colored furniture. I sent a Mas 36 bayonet with payment but Rick informed me(and other buyers) some bayonets came out purple during refinish and some(mine sadly was one) will need to be refinished and sent at a later...

Thats what you get with slave labor.
