I found this in one of my local gun shops it's labeled up as a mauser K98 it's a 7.62 rather than 7.92 at first having spoken with them on the phone i assumed it would be a Norwegen or poss a portuguese rebarrel but having seen it now i just don't know, so what do you think it is
K98 or not?

Re: K98 or not?
It's a model of the K-98 just not the WWII version, it's a prewar version. Very seldomly seen with the Wehrmacht of WWII though but seen with other volunteer units and sometimes partisans.
