You'll have to resize your pics to post them or use a 3rd party and link them here (imgur) but given your seeming lack of knowlege probably got ripped off. Or got a great deal. Only one way to tell

Just posted the pictures and I believe it’s all matching (I think)

Jp Sauer made. For 900, a steal ! Check the serial number on metal parts but from what I see, everything looks matching .

Even though the finish is thin and has been cleaned you made a pretty good buy.

Is the firing pin/ bolt matching?

Gun looks great- everything else I see is matching and the wood is great (are there any stamps on it or have those been sanded off?)

Not bad!! I say great buy - hopefully the barrel is good on it

Firing pin matches and I think the marks were sanded unfortunately the guy I bought it off of said it shot great the few times he shot it sights are matching as well.

Butt plate matches? Have you had it out of the wood?

Rare to find them like that at a gun show that didn't get snapped up by a dealer. Nice find!

Well doesn`t look like his "seeming lack of knowledge" got him ripped off. Sometimes the unknowing catch a break.

Does the recoil lug have a cyrillic marking on it?

I noticed this as well. Makes me wonder about the stock, thus my earlier questions.

Unfortunately after talking to my buddy everything is matching but the stock so it’s not 100% matching but still really happy with it for 900.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rat phuck your new rifle post. It looks salty, but pretty nice. I also agree you did ok with the purchase.

Nah I appreciate I came here to learn about K98s I have very little experience prior to this one I wanna start collecting in the future this is just my entry point.

I agree, for $900 you still did well. Its a nice gun and the current stock suits it well.
