XXI Posen District Build

[wolfgolf96]

Rough at first glance but I believe it to be a honest example of a cool flavor in K98k collecting. Love seeing the mix of armorer and recycled parts on these district builds.

I like it. 3 line vz24 receiver and some cool bits. Pretty worn, but still neat.

Very cool. Compare:

This rifle was nothing but a stroke of luck, and having good knowledge under your belt. And surprisingly Gunbroker of all places, but it was advertised incorrectly by the seller with not very good photographs. I did verify from the seller that the stock matched, as well as the bolt. He told me...

Fascinating. This is definitely an area that I would like to get more knowledge on.

It makes them interesting but Posen did some relatively crappy work compared to the other depots. I’ve got perhaps the world’s crappiest Posen.

Thanks Hambone, I was all over that thread before I bid on the rifle. It was listed with a below average description and less than stellar photos. Taking the time to research the forum before I bid gave me great insight and the confidence to take a shot at it. Appreciate all of y’all!

Wolf, most all of the guys getting burned at auction, etc., could have avoided it by doing what you did Plus, I think learning, research, and being part of a good collecting community is much of what it’s about anyway. The cool stuff we find is the reward for that. Congrats on a cool K98k.
