Afraid the humping will continue as long as prices continue to increase on just about all 98ks. Buyer Beware.
 

Bad bolt. Add says all matching, vet bring
What's wrong with the bolt? Renumbered?
when was the last time anyone saw an ‘e/# stamp on the bolt # face? & beside the ‘e/280s’ on the shroud, the sn area of the shroud looks like it’s been heavily buffed after renumbering, all of the bnz 42s in the ref section have speed milled front bands, (& presumably unfluted bayo lug underneath) and the rear sight leaf & slider is from another model of Mauser 98, look at the part with the notch in it, K98k sliders are 1-sided, this one is 2-sided. Font of safety #s is off & other examples in the same block have 4 digits.
 
That was the most ridiculous part. Maybe it was a super-secret program we've not been aware of?
I wish the waffenamt shop guy in Poland didn’t make those stamps, but I do like the TD disc tool he was selling on ebay, even if the marks on the discs were laser etched, rather than stamped with his own product. (???)

But I’m sure you are correct, it was a super-uber secret program for additional inspections of Himmler’s personal rifle & the inspector was shot after he stamped the bolt!!
 
Yeah me too. They showed up on someones stock lately. A few of the humpers were in love with them too. Drago/Dragom and the serial number guy from the Poconos for a few.
Who is the guy in the Poconos? Used to live in the area a few years ago and never heard of this guy until joining the forum.
 
Guys, please do screenshots to memorialize with the serial and rifle type in the discussion. The discussion IDing all the problems with the above rifle was made about useless beyond 90 days as the link is expired. The posting of it is commendable, but taking the extra couple minutes to load up the pics and screenshots of the auction make it commendable and helpful beyond 90 days. Tks!

Pretty sure he’s a sleaze ball car salesman at his day job. Almost positive he shill bids his auctions.

Bad buttplate and front barrel band.

I can't say for sure but if you look at his 'bidders', that's quite a questionable crowd. And of course all these losers just have to have it. What a joke.
