Thanks Campy, I've read a lot of your posts. Sort of an honor to have you respond to my question. The order with Centerfire fell through, they're out of Mausers. I ordered one through CDNN. If you can, check out their catalog, I downloaded it in PDF format. They advertise a German K98K Mauser captured during WW2 with markings of the Yugo arsenal. I did some research on the C&R boards out there, and it seems these Mausers, if your lucky, still have some German proof markings left. They are actual 98ks'. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the Centerfire Mausers, if they were also captures, the pic in their catalog looked like a 98k, not a M48. Well it should be here end of this week, beginning of next week. Laminate stock,75-95% condition. Non-matching #s', some guys say they ordered the same and recieved matching #s'. Guess we'll wait and see!
