Mauser Oberndorf Data for K98k Hi guys happy to join you. I bought in 2004 a byf44 K98k with serial number 15947g with high turrets and scope. There are some marks on it that i really don't understand, so i hope that you can help me to decifrate. By the way I tried to attach some pictures of my mauser but those are too big for the sistem.

I recentally purchased a k98 barreled receiver off of gunbroker. Told the guy i would send a payment and then have my FFL send a copy. 2 weeks later i get a box AT MY HOUSE with the barreled receiver in it. Talked to the guy on the phone and says he didn't know he had to send it to an ffl. Turns out there is NO serial number on it. Nothing even resembeling a serial number.

I turned it over to my FFL and it is being brought to the ATF in our city. Emails back and forth and the guys says that the NGA66* underneith the waffenampt on top of the receiver can be used as a serial number according to his ffl or aft office. Also says that he heard that because it is over 60 years old it might not originally have a serial number and is extreamly collectable because of the bnz45 stamp I asked for a refund and he says he will but not the shipping. Then he tells me to Pack it back up and send it to him!!! Not even mentioning an FFL Has anybody heard of this? Alot has been said back and forth this is just the major stuff that has happened. Just wondering if anybody has heard of this no more smiley.

Sorry about not describing the whole thing enough. Lot has been going on and its waaayyy to much to type.

I bought it and paid for it and sent my ffl his info. The morning i get the box in the mail (illegal) he calls me to ask why my ffl is sending a copy. I let him know that thats how it should have been done. He went on to tell me that i should treat it as if i had bought it off him as a private seller and not to worry about it (illegal). I called my ffl and brought it over right away. We both looked it over and couldent find anything looking like a serial number except where it looks to be removed. (illegal) Its really not even about the condition of the piece that bothers me anymore.

Its the fact that it was mailled illegally, then i was told to not do anything, then to send it back illegally, and now its all of a sudden legal. Serial keygen generator. Even if i kept it (which i wouldnt ever have) no gunsmith would ever touch it (i hope not) without any numbers on it.

BUT this applies to guns made without a serial number. The law requiring a serial number comes from GCA 1968 (same act covers mailing guns in US post). Hard to imaging Mauser making an action without a serial number, but it could be. I have a Siamese Mauser that has no serial number as such, but it does have some oriental looking characters which might be the number. What is much more likely is that at some point the number on your Mauser was removed (ground/machined off), and that gets it into sticky legal ground, as it is clearly an illegal act to remove the serial #, and most states have their own laws making it illegal to posess a gun with the serial # removed.
