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. Barrel is importer stamped on its right side. Most of the German markings were obliterated, with V.R. 69 stamped on the left side receiver and the Yugoslavian crest on the breech ring. Arsenal was number 69, Vojna Radionica, an unidentified facility that produced only a handful of Mausers. Mod. 98 on receiver’s left side; Waffenamt on the lower forward band, on top of the bolt release, and on both interior halves of the rear sight; numbers on the band, extractor, bolt sleeve and release; and likely internal markings are German. The balance are Yugoslavian. Receiver, bolt, floorplate, and cartouches are matching Yugo re-numbers; other numbers are mismatched German.

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.
