I don’t know! Any more pictures of the bolt available?

Then again, here are some pictures of known good bnz43 rifles from the pic stickies section. No barrel markings beyond firing proof, same heavy thick “font” or “type style” as the present “bn”. You...

I do see a marking here (maybe “3”) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191205/8c8dc462b9c86fb9e0ba61712fa2c633.jpgwhich IS normal for Steyr rifles, but I’d expect to be able to see a bunch more...

Hahaha maybe it’s a “Monday” rifle or a “Friday” rifle!

This is a great question actually! Maybe this belongs in the bayonet section properly BUT for all the zillions of Russian Capture rifles I’ve seen I’ve NEVER seen a Russian Capture bayonet!! Bayonets...

I don’t see any markings on the barrel which is unusual. Something is going on with the serial number as someone already mentioned and as shown in the enlargement I’ve made. None of it looks recent...

HAHAHA maybe so! THOR SMASH!

Fascinating rifle and thread. This has the same kind of appeal as the “SS” rifles, as part of the story of how weapons got to groups other than the army and followed different paths. That sear is...

I think it’s ok. Likely late. Here’s one from the pic stickies of a VERY late qnw known to be good. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191125/4ae36e7f6fd0c65914a69d46a74d6617.jpg

Don’t be afraid to ask even if you think it’s stupid!! Who knows what your questions will lead you to, and others learn when you ask too. EVERYONE started out knowing nothing about these, so you’re...

That “X” isn’t always well struck, but once you know what it looks like you can identify it even if it’s only partially there. I’m glad you checked here first!

Yep an R/C for sure and that stock is humped so I’d be VERY suspicious of anything on this rifle. The Russian “X” marking is the dead giveaway (for new...

Outstanding and fascinating rifle, thank you for sharing it! I see three of the “Circle V7” markings in your photos, are there any you didn’t show? Are there any markings on the underside of the...

Even though it’s an RC and they added a number on the butt, that stock is very nice. Beautiful chatter on it! And as the others said unusual to see a BNZ45 as a RC.

800 bucks is a good price and you’ve got an honest rifle. Congratulations!!

First of all welcome! You managed to find the ultimate K98 group, so you’re off to a good start.

You also have clearly found out that there are difficulties in finding legitimate K98 rifles. Also...

Good move I think. Yes the BSW is uncommon but you aren’t really getting a BSW rifle when you buy an R/C, you’re buying a “Frankenstein” rifle made up of parts. If it had a good bore and was...

Well it would have to be something special to warrant that kind of money, although it does seem the prices everywhere have inched upwards. Do you have any pictures of it?

I believe the contractor is Limbacher and as was said these usually show up on “bcd” (Gustloff) assembled K98s.

Welcome! This is THE PLACE for all things K98!

No sir I was not involved in this transaction.

If you can and are interested, I know some of us would be interested in seeing any and all markings you can find anywhere on this rifle! It’s uncommon to see one that is completely original so from a...

Killer SS contract rifle! What a great find you have. Don’t do anything to it, because it is fantastic just as it is. Thank you for sharing it with us. Awesome rifle!

Well said. The takeaway is that someone humped this thing and aside from who dunnit another great legit rifle gets smoked. It’s unfortunate that there is a big enough market to support this kind of...
