German K98 and Garand from James River Armory...

The sniper version German K98 with the scope like in the movie Ennemy at the gate would be awsome... JP.
 
The R/C Mausers are indeed generally parts mismatching and usually have their Nazi markings peened by the Russians who captured the rifles. They are generally not refinished or retouched in any further manner, and certainly not by any commercial organization. Each shows decades old, worn bluing characteristic of having been used by both Axis and Allies in the second world war. The stocks similarly are not touched in any way and show dings and finish wear from those years of war service. No refinishing, buffing, sanding, etc is present on any of the rifles that we have seen.

Cheers,
Daniel
 
I have one of the russian capture ones some parts are refinished from the crate i looked at ,(mine was the bolt release re bluing) original german eagle and markings are still present tho I had to purchase a new Sight Hood Cover since it was not there anymore beyond that works great
 
I believe most if not all of the RC mausers are missing sight hood, cleaning rod and capture screws as the russians deemed them unecessary and melted them for scrap. Also alot have German markings and eagles intact while some are scrubbed or peened. Although mismatched they are still decent shooters and have alot of history, matched or not they were in the thick of WW2.
 
The James River Armory on the other hand like Caramel said are fully restored and redone with new barrels and look absolutely new and beautiful. Check out James River Armory website and you'll get all the info needed on their stuff.
