[QUOTE="Chard, post: 2163835, member: 2454"] Russian capture (RC) K98's have never had much value in my eyes other than a shooter. IIRC the Russians rebuilt everything they picked up off the battlefield. None of the numbers match on any RC's I have seen for sale. When the Russians put them back together after refurb, they were not concerned about future collector value. These are still geniune K98's that are fun shooters without spending a lot of money. Tennessee Guns imported a lot of them and I know they would check headspace on mismatched bolts before they put them up for sale. Lots of them have the waffenamts pinged out if it was a swastika. Many of the stockedpiled K98's were given away years later by the Russians to any army of liberation that was of a socialist flavor. [/QUOTE]
