First off I'm new to the mauser 98, never handled one until today but have always wanted one. I have a few questions I hope can be answered. Found this one at a pawn shop but he didn't know much about the gun so he was no help really at all. First off the gun is in good shape, bore looks good, bolt action feels good. All numbers match except on the bottom at the trigger guard. I didn't write down the serial # but It has BCD and the german eagle mark stamped. I have talked him down to $340. Is this a good price for this particular gun? Also since I have never held one before I have a question... when I opened the bolt fully I noticed a quite a bit of side to side slop in the bolt. Is this normal or does this show excesive wear? when the bolt is half closed-fully closed before lock it is good and tight. Is this normal for a Mauser? Any help would be greatly appreciated
