I never really looked at them closely, since I never needed one. next time I go I'll look around. no websights since it's mostly from private sellers. there isn't much mark up on them since most who have them don't really care if the sell it or keep it forever, and enough of an interest that they don't often go very cheap. so dealers are mostly uninterested. unless they are collectors, but collectors love all of their stuff so much that they never give a good price, so you only go to the collectors if they have something you just can't live with-out.
the only hard part might be finding one un-altered. I wouldn't imagine paying more than $175-200 if you found one un-altered and in great condition. maybe $125 for one thats had a rough life but is good mechanical condition. just guesstimates though since I never really gave them much serious thought.
something like that would have to be a steal(under $60) to catch my eye if I wasn't specifically looking for one.
thats how I buy most of my guns anyway. 1 or 2 that I set out to buy, but the rest were just so good of a price that I couldn't pass it up.

Well, Capt. Apathy and XtrmeJ is correct! Congrats! :aok

I have a C&R FFL, "Curio and Relic Federal Firearms License". You can goto the ATF website and download all forms to get the license its $35 for 3 years and allows you to mail order all sorts of these old WW2 relic firearms at dirt cheap prices. check these websites. You can grab a Yugo Capture K98 rifle for less than $150 if you know where to look.

AIM, Empire, and Souther Ohio Gun are a few of the good ones. Lots of info at the top of the link website.
Lots of regs to follow and laws not to break but a very fun hobby next to Flight Sims its the best

I've got a beauty in my collection. All numbers match, it was built in the BRNO factory in early 1943. It was one of the earlier 98Ks made with a laminated stock (otherwise known as plywood). I also have the bayonet, scabbard and frog.
Nice rifle. But, if I had to go into combat with bolt action piece, I'd take an Enfield with its faster action and 10 round magazine.
My regards,
Widewing

I ended up having dinner at a great home made pasta place about 3 doors down called 'Paul's Pasta'. Real hopping place right on the waterfront. After dinner a few beers I strolled through the Army Navy store...
