Portuguese K98 new imports


I've put together a basic spreadsheet for tracking members, rifles, and which parts are needed. I've divided it into 937A and 937B model rifles. Feedback would be appreciated, for now it's view only and you can edit it with access. There's no guarantee any matching rifles can come from this, however I feel like it's worth a shot. I've included the most commonly mismatched parts but have added a notes tab if anyone has any specific requests or mentions. Small parts like cleaning rods can be sourced from more than just the new imports as well, so if someone see's a cleaning rod or other part another member needs they can feel free to chyme in and offer one. All transactions will be at the discretion of the individuals conducting business with each other.
 
I like it. Do you plan on updating yourself to protect data? I think a rod or two could be matched at the very least. A bayonet finding it’s proper rifle would be amazing.
 
I'd like it to be an open form people can add to as they wish, but that requires an honor system. I feel like if people do their due diligence all would end up well.
 
I've updated access so that anyone with the link can make edits.

 
I am unable to edit (probably an iPad problem). If you’d be so kind, my data from left to right is:

937A
skearns D11780 No N/A Yes E16620 No N/A No N/A
 
Be careful, call first. I bought a "matching" rifle from them and when I received it the stock did NOT match. They proceeded to tell me I agreed to 10 matching serials listed in the ad. I politely replied with the ad states ALL matching, after which they simply stopped replying.
Buyer beware with them.
That’s crazy I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Centerfire. I’ve almost ordered one countless times but can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money with no bore rating or inspection by myself not going off a company’s word or trying to zoom in on grainy photos. Also with the new batch I found 3 without added A or Ap on serial number. One of the three looked better than the others but had rust up to the muzzle and along the wood line. I hope they make it right for you a mismatched stock on an all marching rifle and bayonet is crazy. Say what you have and price it accordingly. Slipped it in the rest then say what’s the problem I wasn’t expecting to hear that.
 
Finally got around to taking pics of my M937A. Atlantic is supposedly having a restock of these in the first or second week of February so if anyone missed out, that would be your chance to get one. I would highly recommend it. Also, this rifle is my first taste of pre war quality and I'm hooked, I want a S/42 next!

937A’s back in stock at Atlantic.

I’m a long time customer of Atlantic and they F’d me on the 937A. They locked out purchasing a bolt gun to my state as they have done with other states and you cannot check out in the cart.

Went back and forth, and then when they finally relent because all the shite is going to an FFL anyway they say they can make one time exception. And guess what they did not hold one AS I had told them and it sold out. Sorry, better luck next time “you might be a winner”.

Atlantic sucks. At least Centerfire processes the order and ships the damn thing.

And watch your CC with Atlantic. I placed an order about a month ago and my card got hacked. I’m still waiting for the multitude of fraudulent charges to be reimbursed. Not the first time with them.

They don’t GAS about their customers. I wouldn’t really care if family wasn’t born in Portugal. At least I got a mismatched B from
centerfire. Lovely lady over the phone their too.
 
My card was compromised after a transaction with atlantic firearms too. It could have been a gas station as well, but I've seen multiple reports of cc fraud from atlantic.
 
They still have some at Centerfire Systems you can get a bolt Mismatched for half price it might be worth it to have a nice example with that awesome Crest.

Yea I did get a B from Centerfire. A’s were only available (to some) from Atlantic Fraudarms.

Yeah I used a virtual cc number with expiring date end of the month (too long a window I guess). No other purchases.

I’m definitely a Centerfire systems guy i buy a lot from them. Have 1000’s of 30/06 and 8mm Mauser I got crazy cheap during deals. I think I’m at 5 Firearms from them never a problem.

Looks like you inspected them as well as i did haha. #22 was the best no. A Ap but was rusted at the muzzle I’m sure that’s the one.
