I went to the gun show at the Fairgrounds in Nashville today, primarily intending to walk around and look at toys, maybe buy a little ammo. Instead I found a rifle that came home with me. I'm wondering if someone can tell me more about it.
It's a Czech Mauser 98K vz.24. It's been rebarrelled in .308 / 7.62x51. It has an American eagle crest stamped above the bolt. Above the crest is "Model 98/85."
The guy who sold it to me told me that "some company" rebarrelled a bunch of vz.24's several years ago and that this was one of them. He couldn't tell me anything else. It appears to be in very nice condition. I'll post some pics in a bit.
Does anyone here have experience with these Mauser's?
