I have an Erma 1937 K98 that a friend offered to trade a VKT M39 Mosin and 910 ish rounds of surplus ammunition for.
I had originally bought the Erma just for the stock to put on my bring-back K98. The Erma is a Mitchells Mauser's rifle that is import marked and the eagles have been pinged. It is a good shooter but has a kind of dark bore and some misc pitting on the outside of the barrel. It is currently in a sporterized laminate stock.
The Mosin is pretty nice with a good bore. I have shot it before and it shoots well.
Wondering if you guys think this would be a fair trade. He also offered to sell the Mosin outright with no ammo for $400. Maybe that's a better decision?
Thanks
