Available in Sarasota, Florida, this sporterized BYF 42 Model 98 Mauser rifle, serial number 35594, is built on one of the most respected bolt-action rifle actions ever produced. The Mauser 98 action is known for its strength, controlled-round-feed design, military heritage, and long-standing popularity among hunters, collectors, and classic sporting-rifle enthusiasts.

The BYF 42 receiver code identifies this rifle as a WWII-era German Mauser produced during 1942. While many collectors seek fully original K98k rifles, sporterized Mausers have their own appeal as practical vintage hunting rifles and historic custom conversions. During the postwar period, many military Mausers were converted into sporting rifles with modified stocks, altered sights, drilled-and-tapped receivers, shortened or refinished wood, or upgraded hunting-style furniture. This rifle fits that classic sporterized Mauser category.
