S/42; Yes, the neighbours can look straight into my back yard, so I snapped some quick pics of both of the k98's and put them back inside, missed that one :facepalm: She still is very lovely, and smells a little like ballistol ;) great stuff, that. If you ever feel the need to let another K98 go...

After nearly 18 months of owning her, and finally buying myself a decent camera (:facepalm:) I finally got around to taking some pics of my modest, but growing, Mauser stable. After watching the various gun sales websites for 18 months, waiting for one that ticked the boxes (walnut stock...

Hi, Firstly, awesome collection :thumbsup: Could I be a pain in the a#*e & request some pics of the BNZ 44 SS contract? There is one for sale & I'm waiting on some pics from the seller, would like to know what to look for (my knowledge is still quite limited) and if it's really worth the $800...

That's unreal, esp. their collection of PAK's & the flakvierling!

Nothing worse than seeing a K98 butchered like this....let alone a legit sniper example. Amen to the fun, expensive race car statement (especially the expensive part, lol)....currently awaiting the call from my smithy to say my SSR Zielsechs mock-up is ready to be taken to the range

1937 S/42, #3565 L block. All matching except bolt, missing cleaning rod, stock re-done but one eagle still visible. Soon to be type 3 SSR sniper mock-up. Has had a very hard life.

S/243 1937, all matching except bolt, #6458 a block. Heer issue.:thumbsup:

Nice rifle I have a Heer issue 1937 S/243 A block (6458), same markings/ WaA as yours. Bolt only MM.

It amazes me how you guys find awesome rigs like this on a regular basis, the forum is full of stuff like this....this kinda stuff never pops up down under, none that I see anyway. That is one unreal find :googlie

My knowledge of K98 snipers only extends to the military manufactured ones (courtesy of this forum),could you shed some light on SS commercial snipers? I thought the SS used their versions of Wehrmacht SSR snipers and the like? Cheers.:happy0180:

:laugh: or Maradonna's K98...

Forgive my ignorance, archie, have you encountered this rifle??

Thanks, guys. I wasn't taken with the pics and my enthusiasm evaporated pretty quick when i saw them,esp the receiver and action.(ad just said late war K98). It's still chambered for the 7.92 x 57 round.

Hi All, Thought I would make a pest of myself and seek your opinions on a rifle I have the opportunity to buy. It's a SWP 45, with odd looking metal and a stock that seems to be in great condition (and was, once upon a time, a Gew). There are some strange markings on the receiver and the...

Thanks for weighing in, Vaughn :hail: I'm not looking to purchase it or the Ajack (which is up to $375 now ) I also posted, just posted links for everyone to see and comment. I'm a layman with these things but the silver scope was certainly strange to me. You may remember I bought a post...

That's what I thought....I was browsing for scopes/mounts for my project and came across that. There is a Zielvier in the exact same configuration for sale as well. Thought i'd post it to see if others thought it was as bazaar as I did :facepalm: On another note, how does this one look...

No worries Haha, thanks, I dare say I will need it :googlie Thanks again for the advice, much appreciated. Best Regards Chris.

Thanks for the insight, Yes I have read posts from others stating he is the authority on stuff like this. :hail: Shame I'm in Australia, though lol. I would love someone like that to put it together for me, however I wouldn't feel right asking him to, considering he doesn't know me from a bar...

Thanks for the reply/info, once again. I have attached pics of my scope. It is a post-war scope, aluminium with ugly rails on the bottom. Vaughn advised me when I got it (posted another thread when I got it asking info on it) that when the rails are removed I can only use a SSR mount as the...
