two german 98 mausers in 8mm bought in the 60,s for 49.00, the top is a BDC-43 and was left as it came(sling added) and the lower one a BYF-43 was made into a fine sporter at close to 400.00 total and has killed a pile of deer. both are not for sale and will be given to my two sons. how ever the top rifle now is worth about 1000.00 and the lower one about 450.00. so if you have a original german 98 mauser in decent shape do not sporterize it, but buy one already sporterized as they can be bought for very good prices with all the work done and cheaper than you could get the work done today. and save a piece of history. eastbank.
