Mauser Kar98k
I noticied a misidentified rifle in the June 2008 issue of Guns & Ammo. My letter to the editor is presented below. All the best...

Dear Editor:
On page 26 of the June 2008 issue of your magazine (Gun Room Identification & Values) is a picture of what is supposed to be a German Mauser Kar98k rifle from WWII, which it is not. The upper handguard is much too long and the rifle depicted appears to be a Yugoslav Model 48 or 48A and certainly not worth $800.00 dollars. I have great respect for Mr. Garry James and your magazine and believe a corrected picture should be displayed to avoid confusing your readers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Gil Martin
Schnecksville, PA
