1936 Mauser

[Steventhegreat]

Extremely cool rifle. Thanks for sharing it with us. These depot builds are super neat facet of K98k collecting. The members here, including myself, find rifles like these to be some of the most interesting...even if they aren't always the most valuable. Looks to me like its in an early MO and former Luft stock. Gotta love that depot renumbering job too. Also, the reused Imperial era trigger guard is very cool.

Honestly...this is a wicked rifle. Great find!

Early MO?

Early MO?

Early Mauser Oberndorf. The main Mauser factory. The e/63 inspection stamps and e/L are what he's seeing. To be more precise I'd say from a 1938 based on the marks I can see.

That rifle is beautiful. It was probably put through hell, survived a war and all the time since without some "bubba" or well intentioned "cleaning" messing it up. Hope it continues to be that way.

This bubba isn't going try do anything but take my air compressor to it.

I was`nt implying that you are a "bubba" sir. The fact that you came here before attacking the rifle says lots. You can learn a lot about K98s and all aspects of German Militaria here.

Yeah, I was just making a joke. I wasn't taking offense, just joking.
