Modified German Gewehr 98 Mauser Bolt Action Rifle, #6252t, 8x57mm, 22.4" barrel, blued finish, hardwood stock, inverted "V" front sight and adjustable tangent rear sight. Marked on top of receiver ring "WAFFENFABRIK/ MAUSER A.-G./OBERNDORF A/N/1917"; left side receiver rail marked "Gew.98." Rifle was possibly in Turkish service where it was fitted with a replacement stock. Rear sight leaf has been re-numbered and two screws added to the top of the handguard. Bolt assembly is a replacement; handle will not close and the rifle will not fire in its present condition. Condition overall is fair to good with less than 20% of the finish remaining on the metal, existing mostly in protected areas. Wood is good showing bruises, handling marks, and overall darkening. Action does not function; bore is poor with rust, darkening, and visible rifling. Import stamped (FED ORD INC) on underside of barrel. Est.: $300-$450. (C&R)
