Thread: Seeking K98 owner

Hi Team,

Anyone know who was selling or who bought the Brno made (DOU) K98 off Trademe on Thursday? (he was selling three K98’s)

I used to own the rifle after buying it at one of the Wgtn arms auctions. It was a beauty but it had non-matching numbers, except for the barrel/receiver. I sold it 12 years ago to the guy who just sold it. About 2-3 years ago I bought a Parker Hale Safari action off a guy on here. It came with a German WW2 era bolt.

I’ve only just realised tonight (after discussing another rifle project with my dad) that the bolt serial numbers and series proof, match the K98 I sold 12 years ago -s/n 8889. What are the chances!

If the seller or new owner want to reunite these two pieces then I’d be more than happy to oblige.

PM for contact and photos.

Tim
