This listing is for the exact rifle in the photos. Here is a rifle that switched sides in World War II. Yugoslav partisans captured the retreating Nazi Army’s 98K rifles. In 1946, Zastava Arms plant set up shop in Kragujevac refurbishing and reissuing said rifles for the Yugoslavian Army. Barrel is importer stamped on its right side. Most of the German markings were obliterated, with Preduzece 44 stamped on the left side receiver and the Yugoslavian crest on the breech ring. Mod. 98 on receiver’s left side, Waffenamts under the bolt handle, on the safety lever, two very dim ones on the bolt release lever, and likely internal markings are German. The balance are Zastava, Yugoslav, including the serial numbers. Receiver, bolt, bolt release, bolt sleeve, safety lever and lower band are all mismatched numbers. Floorplate and stock do not bear any numbers. This rifle is nowhere stamped 98/44 like the later 1950s guns were. Manufacturer was Nazi Germany’s Military Complex, principally Mauser-Werke.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
