Hi.
Not having seen it, and not having held it in my hands, I would say the following:
Damaged or worn since it springs back after correcting it.

Have you compared it with a second k98?

As an example, k98 rifles are used a lot as member rifles in danish shooting ranges, and when discarded, sights and other items are stripped from them.
There should be a lot of second hand equipment for sale at a reasonable price all over Europe.

Good luck with your k98.

(Ps. happy that my P08 has fixed sights.) :D :D :D
