I think you'd need more than just the waffenampten to convert a Yugo into a K98. Different handguard, and hard guard attachment. Different bolt (in fact K98 bolts are longer than yugo bolts), you'd have to turn down the bolt handle, and in many cases blue the bolt as well. Not saying folks aren't doing it but I'm not sure how many are out there. I'd like a mint example too, but how do you know that any of them are genuine given the market in fakes and forgeries for any WWII German stuff. That's why I'm happy with my Russian capture ones. They are a mis-mash of parts, but nothing fake about them.
The one I've just missed out in was really nice too. Very good bore. Probably a real good shooter. Oh well...
