Model 98 1940

[45/70Shooter]

Looking for some help on what this rifle is and how much it is worth.

All serial numbers match. This is how the rifle looked when I got it.

Thanks

Need a bit more info. Has the barrel been cut? Lip ground off the sight base?
It will never be all matching again, would at best be a stock, bands and band spring mismatch.
What code is on the top of the receiver?

CanadianAR dosnt look like that the barrel has been cut. it has been sportrized.

Barrel has not been cut. From what I can tell the only thing modified on this rifle is the stock.

Top of reciever is stamped 42 and 1940

Id receiver ring says "BYF 42 1940" It's made at Oberndorf in 1940. Does bolt serial match receiver?

What about the handgaurd lip?
in current condition I'd say 300-350.

In 1940 the code is just "42" no byf.

Yes the bolt and reciever serials match as does the serial on the rear sight, butt plate, front sight, and anywhere else it is stamped

Lol. I could be interested too as long as it retained the handgaurd lip.
