k98

I picked up a 1944 DOU k98 Mauser from an auction recently which is all original/matching (including bolt) except for the floor plate. Minor patina/wear but 90-95% bluing remains, and stock is in great shape and has its original finish. Original sight hood and cleaning rod also. I think I...

I found a "Yugo mauser 24/52c" for sale for $300 online. I was wondering if these are just the same as a yugo 24/47 with intermediate action, or if a 24/52c is a captured cazech vz24/g24t with the large ring 98 action since the Germans issued something like 350,000 of them to troops. So is it a...
