ORIGINAL MITCHELL’S K98 TANKER
--------------------------------------------------
The compact configuration is what separates this rifle from a conventional full-length K98-style rifle.
The 17.5-inch barrel produces an overall length of approximately 37.5 inches, giving the rifle the distinctive short “Tanker” profile while retaining the classic Mauser-style bolt action, military-style stock, tangent rear sight, and powerful 8mm Mauser chambering.
Most importantly, this rifle remains in its ORIGINAL MITCHELL’S TANKER CONFIGURATION.
It was not subsequently cut down from a standard-length K98 after being sold by Mitchell’s.
--------------------------------------------------
EXCELLENT CONDITION
--------------------------------------------------
This rifle remains in EXCELLENT / NEAR-NEW CONDITION.
The metal finish is exceptionally clean with very little evidence of use.

The rifle is ALL MATCHING.

Please examine the detailed photographs for the exact condition of the rifle being offered.
