A while back we picked up a Yugoslavian K98 Mauser. It’s been collecting dust in the armory for awhile. Well since the weather is clearing up and shooting season is upon us, I thought I would drag it out and clean it up. In this article are pictures of the rifle as we received it as well as the initial disassembly. I’m breaking it down to clean it up and make it look pretty.
- Yugo Mauser with correct bayonet.
- Notice the dark bolt?
- No major chips or dings of note.
- Some corrosion on bayonet.
- Usual wear.
- Some parts are so worn, they appear almost In-the-white.
- No cracks in wood.
- The wood looks pretty good in the photos because of the lighting. It’s actually quite dark in person.
- Bayonet has some corrosion. But not much.
- complete disassembly 2
- complete disassembly 3
- complete disassembly 1
My next installment will be after the cleanup and inspection of all the parts.
