I bought this M98K from a gunshop. This is a "matching nr" BYF 43 converted in the 50'ies to 30-06 by Kongsberg Arms factory. The rifle got a new hi quality barrel, Bofors steel, and a new mismatched bolt. The action, new bolt and new barrel are "matching nr" with the new serial nr given by KAF.

This rifle seems unfired after the conversion and testfireing at KAF. Barrel looks brand new. Mausers are cheap in Norway. It cost $150.

I plan to put a Accumount hi turret and a Kahles ZF69 on it.

THAT is a beautiful rifle! I wish Mausers were that cheap over here. You should enjoy that one.
 
nice......Yeah lash....when the german had too leave norway wee took all their guns.....many mausers,lugers and so on was then used by norwegian miletary and police after the war, and manny sivil People had from the war...so they used it for hunting and some was rebuilded into target shooting.....now there are manny one the marked here..som inactive and alot of actives...same With lugers and smaisers..Finland is Close and they have manny cheep nasogants...i think it is pretty easy and cheep too get 2 w historikel wepons in norway but the New ones are expensives and hard too get permission for by the police...and some parts are hard too get intoo norway...for exp the Norwegian custums arnt so funt of miletary chassys,they can stop it on the border even if it issent alegal too import.....
 
really nice I have bean looking for the right mauser I want a German ww2 area but I am realy picky its got to make my trigger finger twitch when I see it lol. my buddy has a Russian ww2 anti armor mauser so the barrel is a little shorter but when he got it it was still packed in grease the action is like glass brand new from factory its in 7.62 - 54R A TWO foot flame comes out the end when its fired really nice gun.
 
you should look for a old mauser trench sniper rifle with the elevated trigger sight not sure what they are called but they allowed the gun to be fired from cover without having to put your head inline with target. the value of those modified sniper rifles is crazy you might have a good chance finding one in Norway.I have seen British and American versions but not a german one the gun would look really funny and would most likely come in old wooden box worth keeping your eye out for.
