It’s a long story but I always popped into a local gun store/junk store and there was always an Italian Rifle or Jap Rifle hidden somewhere. Well I saw this green box and asked what is its story, he said it was his father’s box from WWII and had a German rifle in it… still un-assembled. I told him bcd 4s are common similar to byf 44s and I gave him a very honest price for example and then doubled it since it was in the box. Long story short he said let me talk to my dad. I met him and told him I am a Vet Combat Vet and asked him a bunch of questions to include where he came into this K98. He said in a newly liberated area in France during the fall from a pile of other K98s. that’s how I came to own it today
God Bless
