If the action matches, bolt reciever and barrel all. Go for it. Just make sure the bolt matches the reciever. Original numbers, not renumbered. Look for the ( X ). Look for the # on the bolt handle on the flat near it meets the main body. k98's are the most enjoyable firearms aside from your personal muzzle loader. A good one is a dream. I think the Yugos have an almost identicle copy with a teak stock. I would compare. The Mauser bolt action (pre war) is a dream to shoot. I have a 36 mauser but those yugos look nice. A good k98 shoots like the best .22 you had as a kid. Only harder and right in the money with the smooth bolt action feel that others can only imitate. We had to pay Germany a % to shoot at them with our 03's in wwI. Isn't that strange. Feel our 03-a3 0r 03 compared to a Euro mnfg 98 and you will choose the 98. I would still look at those unissued Yugos made on German tooling...
