First, pull the bolt back like you would when you are reloading. On the left side of the gun, there is a steel rectangular button on the end of the reciever right where the bolt is. Pull on it and the button should pop out but not totally come off the gun. Stick your finger in it so it doesn't go back to where it was. Then, pull back on the bolt and it will come out. When you want to put it back in, just do the same thing to the button and push the bolt back in.
Mauser k98 value $475
No way to answer- usually a bolt thatis marked uses a part of the serial number of the gun. Used for military rifles especially, such as the Mosin-Nagant rifle or the K98 Mauser, so that the correct bolt is put back into the correct weapon when cleaning them.
Yes. You will lose 50-60 percent of the collector value if you do these things.
Markings on the rifle will indicate exactly when and where it was made. So- what markings are on yours?

It means your rifle was made in 1938 at the Mauser AG plant in Obendorf. 42 was the code for Mauser- many different firms built the K98.

No. The hooded front sight post was adopted in 1939.
look on top by the date. you will see letters. those letters tell you who made the rifle. example 'byf' was made by the mauser factory.........................
There are few German Mausers.. The main one is the K98 . This was the main issue weapon during WWII. During WWII one of the places K98s were built was in Yugoslavia. The folks in Yugoslavia learned how to make them. After the war they took and redesigned the K98s and designed and made their own models.... They used them in their own army after the war and sold them all over the world. The M48 is my favorite yugo Mauser .
