  1. P.S. Tom, after reading the rest of the posts to your topic, I agree that going with Numrich would be your best bet. I would go with one of their original barrels with the sights already installed. I've had nothing but great service from Numrich and highly recommend them. One thing to keep in mind, rebarreling a rifle, Mauser or otherwise is quit an involved job. You will need a receiver "action wrench" and barrel vice to remove the old barrel and also to replace the new barrel, and some of the vintage Mauser rifles have their barrels on so tight you would swear it's welded on! Please read up on this procedure and determine if it's something you are able to do. It might be more economical for you to use a good gunsmith for this part of your restoration. Please let me know if I might be of anymore help or advise. Charles
  2. Tom, I also have a large collection of Mauser parts, barrels, sights and alot of other parts, I'm sure I could help you also if you could provide a picture of the sights that you need. If you are having trouble identifying your model 98, I might suggest useing a book titled "Mauser Rifles of tne World" by a gentleman named Robert Ball. If you don't have the book, it may be available in your local library. Please respond to my e-mail: rterps@comcast.net By the way, the original sights were secured by soldering them to the barrel. Keep in mind that the new barrel will have to be chambered after it is secured to the action. I would encourage you to have a gunsmith install and chamber your barrel. They have the necessary equipment to do the job safely and securely. Please let me know if I can help. Sincerely, Charles R. Erps Custom Gun Restorations Oak Harbor, Wa
