Not demilled, just WW-1 surplus. Refitted to fire 12ga between 1919-29 or so. Be aware that the front locking lugs of the 98 action have been cut away for the new bolt head, and the action is locking on the safety lug only. 10 jillion American bolt shotguns lock that way, but it would be wise to have the gun looked over and the chamber depth checked before attempting to fire. Even better, dont attempt to fire.
GEHA shotguns are being offered in the $300 range.
