few more pics Last set of pics. Anything else needed let me know. The front band is unmarked same as the nosecap. Looks like maybe repros or new old stock

Picked this up in a trade recently. Kinda odd looking rifle. Red glue laminate stock. Eagle proof on right side. Most numbers dont match. No X in the receiver. import mark scrubbed off and poorly reblued. S/42 on receiver, but looks scrubbed. Also looks like the receiver was scrubbed in general...

1920 stamp I have a beautiful GEW 98 with a 1917 Danzig stamp, the 1920 stamp, and a flaming bomb on the butt indicating spanish civil war issue. Really neat rifle with lots and lots of history and in excellent shape. Arsenal refinished. Check the right side butt stock on yours. It may have...

a few pics.. Comments (and criticism) welcome..The barrel bands, barrel shroud and trigger guard were bead blasted, polished and rust blued. The receiver, bolt stop and bolt parts were bead blasted and polished, the butt plate was cut to fit the stock properly and polished as well. Trying to...

phenomenal! I buy gew 88 rifles from time to time and they range from tomato stakes to decent but poorly refinished. I came into possession of a very poor looking kar 88 with a mint bore oddly enough. I wanted to bring it back to its original glory and maybe run some light handloads through...

Ahhh ok Given the types of bluing available at the time wasn't sure if "blued" was more specific or generic. Understood. Thanks again!

outstanding! Thank you sir! Oh were the screws blued or fire blued? Appreciate the fast response. .

Ok so I am doing some research on the kar 88 short rifle or carbine or musketoon or whatever designation you are comfortable with. I am trying to figure out the finishes on the original rifles. I know the bolt and receiver were polished bright. The bolt release also polished. The barrel shroud...

Also Wood bleach is designed for wood. Oxalic acid. Common household bleach is not designed for wood. Chlorine. Big difference. Red glue laminates are harder to screw up but still have to be careful to not accidentally delaminate. White glue stocks tend to be more delicate. Any laminated stock...

Actually The scrubbing bubbles mentioned is NOT the bleach formula. I agree that easy off, anything with chlorine bleach, etc will ruin the stock possibly. I have restored literally hundreds of stocks in the last 10 years and never had damage from the methods I used. Now I should have offered a...

savogran wood bleach I buy it off of ebay. Works wonders for stained stocks. But not stained as in wood stain, but stained as in black streaks or rust stains. Hot water and wood bleach. Don't breathe the fumes. Let it soak in, can scrub with a toothbrush then rinse thoroughly. But I do it...

Would this be the appropriate section to ask a question about a rifle I recently acquired?

mine looks similar really except the handguard issue and the flat butt plate plus right side of the stock has the same poor scrub attempt. interesting. i bought an "old rusty jap rifle" off gun broker a few years ago that turned out to be an all matching series 25 type 99 concentric circle. you...

his stuff is beautiful But brutally expensive. I may just part it out in the end. Too bad, thought I had a sleeper. I am seeing a polish wz29 handguard on ebay. Safe to assume it isn't long enough for this purpose? Or with some minor fitting may actually work? It indicates 16 inches long...

Lets just say For sake of argument, this thing is complete. I know anything Turk seems to command sub 200 to 300 price tags. Is this in the same range or is ti worth a bit more due to its unusual nature? I am not gonna spend more than its worth on it as a restoration piece. May be worth more in...

Ahhh interesting! I have seen a 98a Turkish stock for sale as well. That kind of explains some of what it looks like today. Based on the pics you see, does it look sorta complete minus the handguard?

Only place Actually this is the only place I have posted this question. Just won the auction this morning. Didnt really have high hopes for it, was more curious about the originality of the stock to the rifle itself, or more something thrown together to make functional (if at all). I normally...

Kar 98a. Looks like was possibly bubba'd at some point in its life. Bolt is original and correct but non matching. The stock interests me because it has the side swivels, lower swivel and takedown disc. Amberg 1911 manufacture. Seller indicates it is a cut down GEW 98 stock made to fit the KAR...

is it just me? Trying to access the site on my phone the last few days. Keep getting 500 internal server errors..

Not correct place but I will buy it right now Have an 03 ffl as well. I know this is not the correct part of the forum but if ok with moderators please pm me and we can make arrangements. Thank you
