A Mauser is a Mauser, the Russian captures were scrubbed and put in storage or issued to partisans. The Russian satellite countries like Czechoslovakia, Hungry, and Yugoslavia etc may have just put them in storage as is.

Yugoslavia was not part if the Warsaw Pact... Their captures are a different breed.
As far as how they shoot, just stick to gun basics when picking out your rifle such as overall condition, tightness, condition of the bore (not pitted, rusted etc.), condition of the rifling (amount left, good/prominent rifling left) in the bore, condition of the chamber, receiver, bolt, smoothness of bolt ETC.. If you pick/buy it in person have a good look at her for things such as these. If buying online try to get these qualities if possible. Finally put some decent ammo in her and she will shoot, the rest is up to you. Mausers are great and historic guns, have fun my friend.

Hungary was NEVER a russian satellite country, they were a occupied land, invaded by a murderous bunch of damn communist low life scum, and throughout the occupation there are countless accounts of patriots gutting those red pig invader, rapist criminal scum.

Dear BeaverMeat the Yugoslavian partisans under Tito in WWII used captured German Mausers along with many other type rifles.

What markings distinguish other firearms captured by the Russians? I know there are RC P38 pistols, for example. Are there any RC Lugers? How would those be distinguished from non-captured specimens?
Other Russian captures weapons exist.
Lugers exist as do lots of machine guns and g/k43.
They will all exhibit similar characteristics such as
Nasty Russian bluing
Shellac
X marks
Scrubbing
Electro pencil
Mismatched numbers
Etc
The reason we don't see these are a) most are prohib here. Ie Luger.
B) they want too much for them and the market won't support it. Ie k43

Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, etc. were all basically occupied by the Soviets, communists were a minority in all these countries. Jozef Tito of Yugoslavia was the only leader with the balls to tell the Russians to F*** off and the Russians wanted no part of invading Yugoslavia, a struggle that would never end.

I have a 1941 BYF that the markings are pristine on. The electropencilling drives me crazy though!!
As for accuracy it shoots just as well as the 1943 BCD I had that was scrubbed clean. I believe your RC will shoot as well as a non RC and cost you much less.
Good luck with the arisaka. They come up rarely so keep your eyes open. Don't hold out for one with a mum, get what you can then upgrade if one with a mum comes available later. you will love shooting them!

He was saying that they captured their own K98k rifles and that there are Yugoslavian captures which are different than Russian captures.

Chrysanthemum or "mum", basically the crest on the receiver of the rifle.
Imperial Japanese forces were ordered to deface the crest on their rifles before handing them over. Most were, some weren't.
