It's a depot rework of some kind, but we need to see more photos of the parts and stock to be any help.

It also has an X in the top of receiver and has no import markings

The sporterized bolt (and I assume the stock has been cut to accommodate it) pretty much kills any value. It would be interesting to see any stock markings though, I am curious if it has any depot markings.

The stock is a k98 stock and the stock is numbers match to the gun

I really didn't catch that when I was looking at it until I got one of my 98k out and laid them side by side, oh well I'm not into it too bad I'm sure I can make a little money on it if I sell it.

According to barrel trends, this lot and date typically are G98's length, one is an exact match - though it is not clear this is always the case but I would be curious if the barrel has been cut down from an earlier re-barrel or made 98k length. ERMA made both, but this is early and early seem to be G98 length (MB and ERMA were G98 ordnance spare barrel suppliers early on)

Anyway take pictures of the rearsight parts, the front sight, maybe the steps if they look possibly altered.

**Typically true conversions (cutting down a G98 length barrel and altering an original stock even better) are far more rare and the more common re-barreling a G98 receiver to make a 98k are far more common and not especially valuable unless very original rifles as a whole. This may be a hybrid of sorts, a true conversion of a G98 length barrel, granted an ordnance spare itself, but still more interesting than than a normal 98k "conversion" but replacement of parts...

You should be able to get one around $450 to $500

Is the receiver drilled and tapped?

The bolt is a commercial FN bolt.

As mentioned the bolt cutout really ruins the stock. Depending on what you need to get for it, I would be interested in the bolt, or the complete gun.
