Mauser K98AZ

I recently brought home a very nice Erfurt 1916 with all matching numbers including screws, sights, and stock. Looks untouched since WW1 and I think that is the last time the barrel was cleaned. Unfortunately while there is lots of rifling there is also a ton of pitting. Still looking forward to trying her at the range. Enjoy the pics:

4th picture shows sharp muzzle crown too, really uncommon on such old rifle. It should shoot good OP although should be a collector item

Sweet old rifle! Won't hurt to dust a few rounds through it. Sounds like you already know what you have and won't "restore" it or "refinish" it.

Thanks for sharing those pics.

Kar 98 A? Seems like a rare bird these days.

Range is closed but did take her out to the woods today and put 10 rounds of vintage Dominion ammunition I had laying around through it. Functions well, shoots great, and I managed to kill an old tree stump. Very handy rifle in the short configuration but does have a good bark to it.
