Is the rifle's forward receiver drilled on the side for scope mounts?
According to my references Mauser K98k rifles with a byf 44 receiver mark were produced at least as high as S/N 34233o.Does anyone know if this is a ex k98 sniper by any chance? For some reason the sn looks to me like it is? I never see any Mauser p38’s or Lugers with any more then 4 digits on the sn?
