Photo Link:: Here are some updated pictures of the Mauser k98 I found in my garage. Test fired 20 rounds yesterday and it’s insanely accurate. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. From the little research I’ve done it seems to be a rare gem. Everything is matching except the bolt which is different but also all matching.

It's a period rework of an S/42G. It was rebarreled by the depot at Magdeburg sometime during the war. It will probably marked with an Eagle/Mg10 on the grip behind the triggerguard.

Nice find, and very light cleaning only please.

Found 1935 Mauser K98 in my Garage

**UPDATED THREAD LINK**Sorry if I didn’t post this right, I found this in my garage last week it belonged to my grandfather in MA. From my understanding (and other people on Reddit), most of the gun is matching besides the bolt and it’s a 1935 “G date”. Just thought I’d share it here for some...

There is a faint stamp in the wood behind the trigger guard it’s so dark and worn I can’t tell if it has an eagle, also how should I go about registering this or should I even bother?

If you’re in the US, I doubt there is any need to register it. Perhaps some stupid state has a stupid law, but I’m not aware of any. You should be good.

I was waiting for my license to come in so I could legally own it. MA has some dumb laws so I was afraid to leave the property with it.
 
The Peoples Republic of Massachusetts has a law on the books that requires you to have an LTC or FID (firearms identification) to own a gun. If you are caught transporting a gun without one or the other, you could end up with a year in jail. Of course this law isn't enforced on criminals as it should be, but it could get the average person into a lot of trouble.
