Hello I am new to the forum. I recently purchased a K98 with bottom metal all numbers matching barreled action for a custom build. Here is my question it has bcd 45 on top of the action and 4 digit serial number. I don't have the stock or anything else. Just want to make sure I am not destroying something that is rare. Any information or opinions are welcome.

What are you trying to do with your custom build? I guess if the metal is not otherwise messed with on your rifle, someone may see ti worthwhile to restore it to a military configuration to make an occasional shooter with it. If your build plan involves hacking at the metal, then yea, maybe finding one already hacked up and beyond recovery may be better. At the end of the day, it's not a complete rifle, so no great loss, and it's your rifle and your money, so its all up to you.

Not at all. Serial numbers are fake as is the “45” on the receiver, finish heavily modified etc. Perfrct candidate for a custom build
Check out our picture reference section and compare what you have to other 1945 dated rifles.

Ok, it's cold this morning so I blew off work for a little while and took these out for pics, as promised. Picked these up from Bruce years ago as a pair, he can tell the story of how the matched set came about and background on the rifles. The pinstripe stock bcd45 is the nicest, newest looking...

Quite a journey in this post. Read the OP and go "ooooohhhh no" then see the pics and switch to "lol go for it"
