Yeah, I'll just get a new one. The stock that the rifle came in when I got it isn't the prettiest and isn't the most functional either. It'd have to go through alot of work to be shootable and not have it disintegrate after three rounds so the band might not work that well on that one either.

I'll figure it out if I do end up bending it back or just ordering a new one. Either way if it's just the Front band then there shouldn't be too much to worry about.

Jesus, my bad for trying to ask a question to the people that are supposed too know everything about k98's.

It might seem weird but I dont know if a h band would go on this one? The lug is meant for a stamped front band? I spent like 4 hours trying to see differences in bands on different stocks but I can't find a definitive answer. I wouldnt think the Russians took all of the stock hardware off of...

It seems like the back part is the only part that isn't tight enough, I still have to lightly tap it into place how it is now. But with how the old lug from the original stock seemed to be wider? It is more of a tighter fit. I think I might just get a random band to make it fit I'd feel better...

That's what I was thinking. I put it back onto the stock I took that band off of and it is a very tight fit. I'm guessing that the H-band style of bayonet lug is wider than the non h-band style. I tried to see when the stock was made but everything is so fadded I can't see anything, I might just...

Would a h-band work with the bayonet lug I have? I'm wondering if I should either get a new lug or a new band that way it will be a better fit, if the two kinds of hardware don't work together I'm not going to force it.

I actually never thought to take a Pic of what it looked like after I got done shooting it unfortunately.

The lug has a little bit of wiggle back and forth after I evened out the pin so I think that aspect is better now. I think for the rear band I might cut up a sock to give the hanfguard I little bit more of a "girth"? And I might just try and get the front band I have now to fit a little better...

So I dont know if any of those help, but I don't know how to describe it after I shoot an entire magazine and I finally notice the handguard, rear and front barrel band with the spring has moved maybe an inch or two twords the muzzle. I don't think the spring is weak cause I still have to put...

Any question I can try to answer the best I can, I know the original is alot to look at so I can try and break down small bits the best I can.

It's a r/c stock I got for a shooter, it's been decreased as much as I could get it so it could last. The barreled action came with its own stock that has the H-band bayonet lug but it's not that great of shape for it to last shooting more than a hundred rounds. If I get a non H-band front band...

I mean, I guess I should have known that but I always expected sporters to be needing a new stock either way. I would have figured if the bolt matches then it would have been easier to put it into another stock and call it a day. A sporter rescue still holds more value than say a r/c right?

Would it not be just a batching barreled action and bolt?

It doesn't appear to have the lip ground off but assuming it is there what would you pay?

There's a sporter for sale next to me for $450 it's been thrown and "professionally" bedded into a winchester 70 stock. I have a spare russian capture stock to throw it into but I feel like $450 is high, but it doesn't appear to be hacked down to were it can't be remiliterized. I grabbed the...

Yeah I guess that makes sense, but I still wouldn't put it past somebody to make them look like the better ones and charge them as they are.

I've seen a good few Russian captures faked to look like matching examples, just the stock was changed but the metal was scrubbed so all the Russian markings were gone.

It's weird how wide of a range in quality there is. Some look like they had removed all of the finish and left it but the stocks don't look different from each other, while others look like the really bad stove paint that is like chalk and others just have paint over them. But I've saw a vendor...

I dont know how to word it but I've seen a good few r/c's with the wood stove paint crap on it, but I've come across a few of them that have a really deep black kind of sheen to them. Is there a way to have the Russian stove paint be, lightened? I'm not sure how to word it, like the metal...
