MAUSER K98 308 SERIAL NUMBER

If I remember right, these were seen in old shotgun news ads. These Russian captures have the Mitchell import mark on the barrel and were sold by Mitchell's as discards around 2006-2009. It is still a Russian capture, just that it's poor condition saved it from a replica-like conversion to a spic & span MitchellвЂ™s K98k. It has the Mitchell's import mark on the barrel (MMC), but no other modifications were done to this lucky RC specimen. Early in the marketing some of the rejects were sold as common RCs by Mitchells. The best Mitchell import marked K98k rifle is one that was rejected for rebuild. I do not really consider them a true surplus rifle due to the Mitchell conversion. Some want a nice clean rifle to hang up- not a dirty bring back. It looks better than a non firing Denix replica to hang on the office wall. If you want an expensive great shooter that looks like a K98k with no historical value, this is a great rifle. It is a well built, accurate, like new rifle with dubious markings that comes in a cool box at a somewhat high price. In conclusion, I would say the Mitchell Mauser K98k can be considered a contemporary replica for shooters that do not have the same concerns of a true military collector. The MMC is the key to its identification. Mitchell's Mauser's can be identified by an import stamp that contains вЂњMMC FV CAвЂќ or вЂњMCC Fountain Vly CAвЂќ usually stamped on the barrel. The rifle comes with a cleaning rod and sight hood. There are no electro pencil markings, no pinged dirty birds, no shellac on the stock, and the bolt, butt plate, and stock washer are in the bright. Some Nazi markings are altered or added to make rare rifles. On examples I have seen, only receivers with clear stampings were generally selected for their better rifles.

The German code and date remain on the receivers.
