8mm Mauser; 60% blue, good bore, fair stock, 23.5'' barrel, This is an example of an SS issued Gewehr 98 Mauser rifle, modified to the K98k pattern by Mauser in the late 1930s, and reworked into a short side rail snipers rifle during the war. Thinning original rework blue finish, mounted in a laminated stock and handguard. The rifle numbers are all matching with most retaining the WW1 era Imperial proofing. The receiver ring manufacture and date markings have been removed, retaining the Imperial proofs on the right side and military acceptance marks on the left. The right side of the barrel under the rear sight is stamped with the original rework markings S/42 and two droop eagle/WaA63 proofs. The left side of the barrel chamber is marked "SS2" over a totenkopf (deaths head) stamp. The short side rail base is not marked externally. The mount is serial numbered 9299r and is marked on top with the Weihrauch/HWZ logo. The 4X scope is marked on the left side of the range adjustment base "Dienstglas" along with a totenkopf and SS. The scope has a pointer/crossbar reticle with excellent optics. The focus adjustment works fine, the range adjustment wheel is stiff and bent upward at the rear. The scope tube retains about 60% original blue finish with some scattered light spotting, The original rubber eyecup is present. The stock has been lightly sanded with no visible or legible markings remaining. The takedown ring on the butt is stamped with an eagle/276 proof, the recoil bolt is marked with an Imperial proof. The buttplate is matching to the rifle. There are two cracks behind the receiver tang, one on the right side swings forward along the wood. The stock is duffle cut under the lower band. Includes the attached original S/C marked leather sling and cleaning rod. Also includes an original front sight/hinged muzzle cover, numbered but not matching to the rifle. Mechanically fine, the bore has strong rifling and a tight muzzle, showing frost throughout. C&R/FFL, s/n 31xxm
