Just curious.

In Italy you can have gun for three reasons:

1) hunt
2) sport
3) defense

"hunt"

You can carry your gun only in the period of hunt, in the zone where you can hunt, with guns for hunt.

"sport"

you can't carry the guns, but you can transport them separately from the ammo to the range or at the clay pigeon shooting.

"defense"

you can carry your gun but to abtain this permission is very very difficult, and you must have the consent of the chief of police of your town, only for reasonable facts (someone has threatened to kill or you make a job like jeweler, security guard...).

But in Italy there is no clarity on the rules governing the extraction of the weapon, and so it is always in the wrong if you shoot someone

Thanks for your informative reply and good luck acquiring the rifle you're looking for.

all the problems of a beginner!!!!

If you want a beautiful rifle to shoot, there are plenty of the Yugo captured K98k and 98/24s around in Europe. With some luck you will find an Israeli K98k in .308Winchester that is a formidable shooter that has been rebarreled in Israel.
Norway had rebarreled many K98k to .30-06.

For collecting purposes, I would go with an early gun made before 1944 with better machiining and finish.

There were many details changed over the years, from the solid walnut stock to the laminated stock, from the flat butt plate to the high one, the bolt take down was later no longer an extra part ( actually two parts) going through the stock but just a hole drilled though the butt plate. The machined triggerguard and magazine housing became a cheaper metal stamping.

Also the front rings saw several changes, from machined with grooves, those omitted and finally replaced with stamped and welded rings.

To get started, you should get the proper literature and buy your first K98k, once you hold it in your hands, field strip it and inspect it, many seemingly complicated things will be self-explanatory.

I can't speak to what you will need to buy a rifle in Italy, but for informational purposes I have found this to be an excellent reference:

I bought a Russian capture one with a 1940 147 marked receiver that cleaned up to be one of my favorite rifles. Using that website I found out that it was made by Sauer & Sohne in Suhle. I paid $170 for it a few years ago, but I wouldn't wait too long to buy one because they do seem to be getting scarce (at least over here).

This is my latest K98k acquisition, a dot45 that was rebarreled in 7.62x51 Nato and reissued in Israel.

The barrel is in pristine condition. The parts are from all periods; an earlymilled triggerguard with WaA, bolt renumbered to the receiver, upper ring early milled, front ring stamped and welded. Solid stock is replacement with the typical fingergroove, handguard is laminated.

This is the K98k that excels at the range while being a historically significant collectible.

If you want a K98k that shoots well and is in an easily obtainable calibre, this is the one to get!
