I did not plan on getting out of the house today, Black Fridak and all, But a call from the local shop and I was out the door. My buddy at the pawn shop called and said he had two old Mausers that he just pulled and was about to put out. He said one was a sporter and the other was still military.
When I got there he set two rifles on the counter, an Arisaka that had been hacked up and a K98. we shot the bull a little and I told him that the Arisaka was worth about $40 to $50 but , I had no use for it.
The K98 was a mix master with a stamped rear barrel band and floorplate. The bore was dirty and the stock was so so. It was not a RC but it appeares to have spent a little time in the hands of some place that did not like the German proof marks, Most had peen stamped over.
I told him that the rifle would sell for $150 to $175 but I would be willing to give him $100.
Well He looked ar the rifle and said OK. 
Well here are the pic's that I just took. What do ya'll think?
