I'm seeking a little input and advice from those in the know. I currently have the opportunity to buy two interesting Mauser rifles.
One is an Israeli K98 .22 trainer (FN, w/ original barrel...not the Remington barrel) in good to very good condition, with rack number and ".22" on the stock, with correct sling and bayonet. The other is a Persian 49 Carbine 8mm, in excellent condition, all matching, with bayonet. I don't know if the carbine is Persian mfg or Czech mfg.
I know a little bit about these, but I haven't found too much info on values. I can get either one for the same price (about $550 before taxes, fees, etc.). I know the best option, and everyone's favorite including mine, is to get both...but given a choice and/or limited budget...which one would you get, and why? Any further information would be appreciated as well. I apologize for no pics, but the guns are not mine yet. Thank you.
