Japanese / Chinese Mauser?

Drake1628 · Thursday at 9:28 AM

hello everyone. I have a Mauser K98K with Japanese or Chinese markings on the stock and receiver, though I’m not sure of the year it has matching bolt serial numbers and the trigger assembly seems to match. I will attach photos of the rifle. Any help is much appreciated! Got it about 4-5 years ago for a good price. Just looking to find out more about it and a general price. Thank you in advance!

You have a 1938 Chinese nationalist contract k98k. Made by mauser oberndorf. Sweet rifle!

Lucky! I see the Nationalist (KuoMinTang) star on the receiver.

Any idea of the value? Numbers seem to match according to the part of the rifle and components within each part of the rifle.

Huh? The bolt is m/m to the rifle and the bolt stop is m/m to both.

Ahh I see, I thought that since components were matching number that the rifle was matching. I see what you are saying. Components were matching but different components had different serials.

Yeah, a matching gun will have the same SN on all parts.
