At first glance it looks good to me...I believe that is a forwarded receiver, assembled by MO in 1944...Note the E/135 final acceptance on the top of the receiver...
IIRC Borsigwald stopped building 98k's in 43...they just sent completed receivers to MO and a few others for assembly...
If I learned my lesson from Flynaked properly, the kriegs bands and screws look like MO production...numbers look ok to me, but I am not the best person on that...
Looks to me like a really nice dual maker piece, I'd have jumped on it if the price wasn't crazy....

Wait, was this the one on Pre-98's site...ugh, he's had some real humpers on there lately...someone will have to check the Bible to see if a Kriegsmodell stock would be right for an "n" block...it would seem it would be easy to slip a sporterized ar 44 into an un-numbered Kreigsmodell stock and band set and charge $3800 for it...

Oh, yeah, wide countersink for wider head screw...
Could it be another humper from Pre-98? This one was sold...if its wrong it was an expensive mistake!

Too many things don’t give me a good feeling, looking closer I think the rear sight base was replaced.

Plus it will drive the “serious 98k collector into fits of frenzy and possibly even foaming at the mouth”.

To date, no 'n' block MO examples have been reported with full Kriegs stocks.
All with the exception of a single semi-kriegsmodell have been fitted with full stocks.
There is always the exception and this rifle is one of them.
The stock is very nice and original along with the other hardware. The countersink on
the rear band is oversized but is also very deep likely carrying the full width of the drillbit.
I cant find any major fault with the rifle but it could also be a good restoration in a replaced
full KM stock rig.
We will never know.
These 'n' block rifles were likely run on a separate line.
From a manufacturing standpoint with the aggressive push for increased production, mixing
simplified KM production with rifles fitted with standard stocks would have slowed the process down.
Hence the separation of production.
Could have random KM stocks been fed into that line? Possibility of course.
