Looking for advice from milsurp guys

[u/Anonymousffs]

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?

I get the appeal if you didnt care its a sporter but if you want a K98k they are out there for ok prices you just need to save a little. Plus there are Czech made ones, love the Swede Mausers in 6.5x55

This kind of sporter would need alot of work if you wanted it back to military configuration which will cost you alot more than just finding one
