Milsurps / Prohib Looking for advice from milsurp guys
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?

If you want a K98 so badly I'd recommend just getting a Russian Capture one. They're mismatching but still good shooters for the most part. Prices on all milsurp have risen so I'd expect $900-1200 for one of those. I'm sure there is outliers, but keep an eye on Gunpost and auctions if you're serious.
I would not get a sporterised Mauser if I wanted a K98 specifically; it's the historical value that would be more important there. The one you have pictured doesn't even appear to be a wartime piece.
