That dou 42 is pretty nice, I wouldn't call it a turd just a dishonest seller

A most righteous byf42. Including the serial number in the handguard. Looks to be a factory error. 42 is a really interesting year in k98k production as they stopped using as many acceptances on a lot of the parts, but only for a period of time. This one having numerous FN subcontracted bolt...

That would be a neat example to see in hand!

More photos of your rifle? Your rifles finish looks like it could be a russian capture but the barrel and sights may have been replaced during the war by the germans. They didnt always replace front sight bases with ones that were slotted for a sight hood. My BCD 41 is not slotted for a sight...

Neat depot reworked 98k. Was sporterized postwar and then someone did a decent job fixing the stock.

I recently bought a gewehr off gunbroker that had a tag that stated it was "found in a sunken submarine". Which it wasn't, yours however looks like it may have been 🤣. Really neat rifle! I wouldn't clean it to be honest with you. Im sure there is a crusty gew98 bolt out there for you! Here is...

100% agree. Its a yugo refurb 98k. What happened to it after that, God knows.

A very nice example! Glad you snagged it!

Beautiful pair!

Wow. Very. Nice.

Also I'd like to add that this defintiley some kind of 98k conversion, not a 98m.

It would not have been in the white. Clearly quite heavily used and the metal has been cleaned somewhat aggressively. For a interesting rifle like this I would personally like to see just about everything. Someone more versed in these conversions may only need to see super clear photos of the...

Looks promising, but we need way better photos I'd say.

Yes this is the one with the replacement barrel I saw on Facebook. Neat rifle. Looks like duffel cut may be improperly repaired? Kind of hard to tell the issue from limited photos.

Russian capture k98ks are made up of parts from dozens of k98ks. Your stock and barraled receiver did not leave the factory together. From the sounds of it, you have a late 44 or early 45 dot/swp stock. They were not drilled for a cleaning rod.

The number on the stock looks to be the 1920 retention stamp. Designating this gew98 was kept by the government in 1920.

Possibly reworked in the 1920s. Before the 98m conversion process for the new s.S. sights were done.

This sub forum has a great reference section in it. I use it constantly. As far as the rifle goes, I definitely agree with Chris. I would not consider it a bad rifle for the right price, but if the seller is listing this at a premium all matching rifle price then you should pass. Our...

Buttplate numbering is from a Norwegian rework. Interesting rifle for sure.

It's very sought after as far as surplus 8mm is concerned. I'm sure plenty people here would be interested.
