Fully correct K98s are not hard to find here, although what I call the internet-driven Hoarder's, (not Collectors) Market has driven prices up over the last ten years. Many of these are vet bring backs, but most of what is on the market today are reimports, be it from Russia or wherever else.
Again, I don't how else to state this, (and from the many "thank yous", our equivalent to FB "Likes", many of our most knowledgeable members agree), but in this market most of the imported surplus firearms are complete, intact, mostly if not all matching. Other than the theory I proposed above, I cannot account why the examples in your market are so poor.
