Not just Ham. Very nice rifle Jack.

Wow, I had to go back and look at Kriegsmodell to read about this interesting variation! Very strange, yet very interesting and intriguing. I guess these rework dot44 variants don't show up often?

That is one of my favorites. Thanks for posting it Jack! Pic stickied. :thumbsup:

I think that simply a regular dot build on a salvaged receiver.

Nice to see the unusual factory builds like that.

I love the one too!

They Don`t make Snipers like that , That is reall y Interesting Rework .
Is it what one would consider a Rework or Salvaged Receiver K98 ? Please Advise.
Best Regards

Dave, salvaged receiver run through production at Brno. I've seen them in other codes/dates, flavors, such as Vz.24 used receivers. They may occur alot in this block. Jack has a Vz.24 salvage like this too I believe. :thumbsup:

Do you know of another vz24 recycled receiver or is mine the one you were thinking of?

With Paul's data collection (of course) we know of about 20 of these including some with blank receivers, JPS receivers and even a Gew 98 receiiver. Many are RC's.

Just saw something neat

Was at a show today and saw an ar44 receiver salvaged by dot. It was an ao block gun. My guess is Borisigwald sent it to Mauser and they forworded it to dot...

There was also an AR43 salvaged and put into byf44 production at the SOS.

I also have a vz24 depot gun.

Let's see some pics of the VZ. These depot things are fun to decipher.

I'll second that. But put it into it's own thread so it doesn't get lost.
