Salvaged DWM 1905

Talking about vice and monkey wrench marks on my Goerz 3x sniper rifle ( http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?6876-Spandau-1914-Goerz-3x-sniper-rifle ), I had to dig this one out of the safe.

This DWM 1905 receiver made it into a new rifle with the help of ordnance spares (barrel, stock, handguard, bayo lug), salvaged parts (bolt, buttplate) and some parts from the original DWM rifle (front and rear ring, rear sight, triggerguard, floorplate).

Please note:
The use of a number suffix (“4”) on barrel, receiver (under the wood line) and buttplate, instead of the letter “d”.
The very crude vice and monkey wrench marks.
The bolt must have seen service with 3 different rifles.
The overstamped serial on the buttplate.

I remember this rifle, a very neat rifle no question. All the Bavarian parts used in the build suggest it was built (a rifle built around a salvaged DWM/05 receiver) at Ingolstadt or some ordnance facility in Bavaria near the end of the war. I do not remember what we discussed exactly, but I seem to remember there are a few others known? I would have to look for them as I haven't categorized rifles such as these in a dedicated file.

Bavaria (Amberg) is perhaps the most interesting make in 1918, one of the few facilities still making the Gewehr98 in number, most other firms or arsenals had moved on to other things. (MG, P08, Kar98a or a combination)

Really, really neat rifle, thanks for sharing!
