Ah .. yeah. Thanks for the correction. byf43 of course!

You know what is odd? The rifle with the intact receiver ring markings ... it has a German Eagle N firing proof from post WWII period. I would expect the barrel to have the rest of the firing proof information on it. With stamp from the actual proof house and the date of the proof. The fact that...

This is a former High Turret scope. The rifle serial was 22868i, note the "i" above the serial number. That is one of the very few blocks where the serial suffix was also placed on the scope rings. It therefore originated from a byf44 coded K98k.

Thank you. So that would kind of support/work with the thought I've mentioned above, that an Erma K98k and a S28 were scrapped for parts to make one working rifle.

Re-checking the stock it appears that the acceptance stamps are Eagle 280. I therefore believe the stock once came off an Erma rifle. The fact that it now has an Erma barrel and stock but somewhat got reconfigured to take the early Gew98 barrel bands makes me wonder if a S28 and Erma K98k rifle...

Bringing up an old thread of mine for becoming owner of the attached price list for the Steyr .22 rifles. Note the pencil written date on the document on top right - 19.12.35. Since this is European Method of date, this means that it dates to 19th December 1935. This makes it obvious as to why...

I would want to see more pictures of the base with the stock removed, as well as the stock cutout. If I remember correctly, the Police sniper rifles per period documents are supposed to have an additional marking on the receiver ring ... @Amberg would know for sure.

Very nice! The 1-2,3,4 elevation markings on the SSR Zielvier makes me wonder if it may had been a hunter donation scope. @Dave Roberts what do you think?

For what I know post WWII. The 7 most surely refers to the rifle it was sitting on. It may be some British connection.

That kept me my head scratching too .. until I thought this may be because someone wanted to re-use its early style H band with pin all the way through, so the only way to make a K98k stock work would then be to convert it back to early L shaped spring and pin. Anyone can educate me on the...

It isn't Aluminum but Zinc. So even worse in regards to be painted.

Last two pictures.

This time non professional pictures .. the rifle isn‘t perfect either (mismatch, at least stock, many other parts don‘t have a serial at all), so just to have it documented in here too. Bought it not really knowing what it was, when having home and removing the stock turns out it is a S28 rifle...

The focal adjustment ring is super easily removed. Single Screw removed, then you can also just slide it off to the rear too. Then afterwards just slide it on and carefully turn it until it is over the hole again, put in screw, done.

Well. Getting older does not include allowance to kill a MP44 ;).

It looks like it was made for a standard dovetail on the receiver. Measure the spacing, if it is 11mm or 13mm possibly. Only odd thing to point out is the pretty unique shape of the rear ring, that intermediate piece to move forward the bottom portion. To take off the rear ring just unscrew the...

I'd need a picture to answer :D

A personal guess, the shape of the front base reminds me more of the LT than the HT. And if it was a Zielvier scope, then it most likely (if not for blc+ coded Zielvier with sunshade) it is LT anyway. Also according to Robert Spielauer the height where the bevel in the rear ring lookthrough...

Ah yeah. 1874 Gras! If there is need, I can picture that too. Could have had that Ross .. but it would had required me to trade something that I currently still like more than the Ross, lol. Maybe one day!
