If you don't mind, what do the want for that second k98 ? While these rifles don't cost a whole lot, they are terrific rifles. Most exhibit old world craftmanship lacking today. The Mauser 98 action is one of the strongest ever made. The design is still in use today. Check out a Ruger 77, it is pretty much identical. The kick for me is to be watching the History Channel or a movie and think to myself, I have one of those. In fact, I got on this kick after watching the movie, Enemy at the Gates. I decided I had to have a K98 and a Mosin Nagant 91/30. Things kind of got away from me after that; the Enfields, the MN 44s, the Finn M39s............ One more thing, the prices of these milsurp rifles varies considerably. It is easily possible to buy some of these for less than $100, but, ones in pristine condition sell for considerably more. Some things to look for; Does it have importer marks ? On my K98 they are located near the end of the barrel on the bottom. This shows who imported the rifle. If it doesn't have import marks, it is worth a little more; it would likely be a "bring home" from the war. Do the serial numbers match ? My K98 has serial numbers on the barrel, the action, the bolt body, the cocking piece, and on the magazine floorplate. Matching is obviously worth more. Are the Nazi markings still there ? The vast majority have had the original Nazi markings ground off after the war. Original markings are worth more, again probably a "bring home" gun. Check to make sure that the rifle is chambered for 8mm Mauser, some of these 98s were bought up after the war and rechambered to .308.
