Steyr manufactured Kar98K, manufactured in 1941, captured by the Soviets at some point in the war, and stockpiled in the Soviet Union for decades until the Warsaw Pact had a going out of business sale.....

The bore is surprisingly good, very good. I'm thinking that the stock is in good shape too, and I'm going to work on gently taking that nasty Soviet shellac off and see what kind of condition the laminate is underneath.
Lot of history in these Russian capture K98's.
