Most abused surplus arms encountered

[Cal Sibley]

I think that generally speaking the German M98 mausers I've encountered have been in the worse shape of rifles that were widely used. It's a great rifle, but many of them were used through 2 world wars and not always in winning situations. I've seen the occasional one in great shape, but they are few and far between. By necessity the Germans were very hard on their military firearms. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.
