Just got this K98 Dou 42

[mxzxops]

Seen this and decided to take a chance on it. Most of the blueing is gone that is exposed. Just took a few quick pictures. Will get more when I actually take it apart. Sorry for the rough pictures, just wanted to quickly get some.

Those are purdy eagles.

A very nice early dou42. Cocking piece is an armorer's replacement, and I'm guessing you will find the firing pin is one also.

Nice, early 1st year production for dou. Neat rifle!

just took it apart to check it out a little closer, firing pin is not a replacement, matching to the rifle. Just a few more quick pics to go with it.

What waffenampt is on the firing pin?

Cool battle carried vet. Don't clean it at all, it's cool like that. I'm not so sure the striker/sear isn't OEM. Uga, it's a 280 / ax part. Erma went off line for K98k production in 1941, so after that their parts got spread out. Dou picked up the K98k production slack.

What waffenampt is on the firing pin?

Just took a quick look, didn't see any waffenampt on the firing pin

I like it, it has that salty, battle worn look. I like the cocking piece too.

Nice! I wouldn't touch a thing.

I have dou 42 5235b. The only difference is that it has the open milled front band, with matching serial number.
