People will be requesting pictures of the bolt, barrel bands, stock markings if any, and closeups of basically every part of the gun, I'd say better lighting to start.

Unfinished LSR sniper (Long side rail) Gustloff rifle. Funny enough more rare and possibly more valuable than genuine finished sniper rifles, these often get bought up and turned into snipers which is quite sad. Beware of PM's with lowball offers especially as a brand new poster, on the other...

No longer in my possession unfortunately, gave it to flynaked to use as donor material to restore other stocks.

My example, 2574k, was the earliest I ever found. Sadly it was sporterized so I replaced the stock with what is likely a 1938 stock. https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/my-k98k-collection.62824/

I leave my duffle cut as it sits. So many guys are repairing their own, that soon no genuine dufflecuts will remain. I think they should be left as is, its part of the history. My whole duffle cut assembly slides together in one grouping, with an air gap under the barrel band spring just like...

Not the best photos but almost certain its walnut. Oberndorf regularly made use of it throughout the war in batches.

You should post them if you haven't, I have a bolt/stock mismatch that I restored with an S-block bolt, restored steyr stock, repro screws, original barrel bands, and I still am more proud of it than my 2 all matching rifles.

I don’t care how many bnz45’s are posted here I love them too much not to instantly click the threads for them first when they pop up!

Steyr used a very light “scrub” walnut on many stocks late in production.

Is there more than one meeting room where we would need a number or is it just the only one in the building? I'd imagine people who aren't staying at this hotel in particular are able to get in for the meeting still? Look forward to seeing you all!

Never heard of it, do you have a photo?

Marked "cwt" and dated 1942, in near mint condition, all fabric is intact with no frays or tears, all buttons and drawstring present, all hardware retains all paint and appears fresh from factory the day it was made, only flaws are the beginnings of drying leather/red rot on one side of the...

Got to see one of these in person for the first time recently, a very cool rifle, and nice phosphate magazine. I wonder what caused the pitting next to the rear sight.

Rudolf showed me this earlier, nice snag! No final acceptance on the top of the receiver either, and nice late svw FP

Merry Christmas!

That's quite possible, it is hard to tell with the pebbling. If it is a "t" it is for sure stylized as there is no room or impression for the left part of the "t". To me it looked like a fully rounded "b" but the pebbling pattern does line up to create that perception. There is a second "b" in...

People are shocked to learn the books are effectively entry level in terms of what can be presented vs. what is known via the forum.

The sewing and hardware on this one is quite excellent, and it is very high quality thick leather, its as stiff as the standard double backed pouches almost, while some others I have would fall apart in a few days of combat I suspect.

An excellent ammo pouch acquired from an ebay seller I met in person, sewn construction and marked with a unique abbreviation for Reichsbetriebsnummer, RB(b,t?)r.Nr. 0/0267/0001 for Gustav Schiele, Loburg. This example is a more traditional mixed sewn and riveted construction. Leather is...

An absolutely fantastic ammo pouch saved from a reenactment, riveted construction and marked with RBNr. 0/0365/0012for Richard Ehrhardt, Pößneck. Each cell of the pouch uses a different rivet type from left to right being "large solid", "medium hollow", and "small hollow". The bottom is quite...
