Your barreled action looks complete, as in if one wanted to, it would be a lot easier to restore back to military configuration. However, being that it's a family heirloom, and was sporterized longer than it wasn't at this point, I'd say leave it as-is. My great grandfather brought back 3...

Thank you! This was a great laugh LOL

Pardon, but what / who is this "sweaty ben" that I always read about on this forum? I hope he didn't get into these Portuguese K98ks from Centerfire, because I just ordered one yesterday! Lol. Thanks!

Just bought one, will make a post on how it turns out! I opted for the bolt mismatch rifle

Thanks! That will help a lot should I decide to attempt and rebuild it to a period correct rifle. Out of curiosity, do you know roughly what happened to the DOT make guns, as in where they were sent for issue? Mine is not import marked, but I see it far more likely to end up on the Eastern front...

Hi fellow collectors, asking about the same K98k I have in the past. I recently got a DOT 1944 with S/N 190XX a (a-block). I was wondering what style barrel bands and what stock / stock details would be correct. From recent studies I see mostly Kreigsmodel features on the single letter block...

Sorry for late reply, but thanks! Cool to hear

There is an intact but faded waffenampt (sorry if I butchered that spelling) on the right side of the stock, dead center. It has a word under it but I can't make the word out. I'll update later if I find the DOT on the heel.

I'm aware of the Kriegsmodel stock, but not the semi-kriegs. What are the differences (if there aren't too many to list)?

Hi all. Wanting to learn more about my new DOT 1944 K98k. S/N 190XX, a-block. Off the bat, I'm aware it's non-matching and some parts may not be period correct, i.e. the stock I'm about to inquire about. I had questions on two parts on this rifle specifically (for now lol). 1) Floor plate. I...

Thank you!

Love upstate, I frequently visit Norwich during hunting season and Tupper Lake for fishing in the spring-early fall!

Oh ok cool, I live in Islip, plan on moving down the line as well lol! There are a lot of milsurps on the island oddly enough but not worth not having gun rights and no money in my pocket lol

Great to know, thank you!
