A local pawn shop has a heavily sporterized Kar 98 for 575$ and I've wanted a Kar 98 my whole life but even sporterized I never find them and when I do find complete original ones they're like 2k$ not talking about other variants but German made ww2 Mausers do you guys think that's a fair price?

Pawn shops stocked guns?

They run background checks and all that before selling, too, I hope?

Super common especially in the USA for pawn shops to stock firearms they check your pal and ID they do the transfer numbers just like any other gun shop
