Good info!:thumbsup: Any idea of glue color of the laminate stocks and the original stock color, when the rifles were fresh issued.

Hello all! What were the wooden stock types coming out of the DOT armory in 1943? From what I am picking up is that it looks like 1943 was a transitional year from Walnut to Laminet? Enlighten me my comrades...PROST!...:happy0180:

Thanks Dave... Cool site. Might think about a reproduction. I'm a little obsessive on detail.:googlie

Thanks for the Intel my brothers in arms...Prost!:happy0180:

I like the rifle, it's in great shape and has a lot of history in proof marks on it.. It's a solid shooter (I checked it with a No-Go gauge:thumbsup:) lot's of range time left in her. Does anyone no where I can get a DOT stock to upgrade with?

At first inspection, no serial numbers on the outside of the band.

but there's no Yugo markings on it anywhere? Or is it I was advised on another post here, the stock was the only thing Yugo mismatched about the rifle. Is there a way for me to confirm if the rifle was sporterized?

So your saying my rifle is a sporterized Yugo? Could this have happened after it's tour of duty with the East German DDR Bewaffenten Unit? Per it's Proof Markings.

This is an East German reworked rifle. Not sure how or why a Yugo stock ended up on this rifle.

I have purchased a 1943 Kar98k DOT with a Yugoslavian stock (So I've been told). I want to purchase an original DOT German stock, but i want to get enlightened before any purchase is made. Some guidance would be appreciated my comrades in arms.

I have a 1943 Kar98k DOT with a yugo stock. I would like to get an original DOT stock for it to make it some what complete. Question: How do you recognize the differences between the diffrent stocks? Trying to get enlightened before any purchasing.

Thanks! Yea I wanted a good shooter for my first Kar98k. wanted to have some real fun with the first one. Next one will be the conversation piece (Gun Safe Queen).

Just checked the head spacing with a "No Go Gauge". Tested perfect, looks like she has lots of fun at the range left in her.

It shows which parts are original to the gun from the manufacturer. If a diffrent number is on a particular part, it shows it was a replacement part (Not Original).

More barrel markings under stock. Just did a full dismantle and clean of my rifle. You can see the barrel marking fully and there are additional markings that were under the stock. Interesting....

Thanks men! I am a miltary history super freak...The more I am hearing about this old girl, the more it grows on me. It tells a long story documented on the rifle. That is cool stuff. Thanks again..

I'm feeling better about my purchase now. Thank you my Comrades!

German imperial proof?

It will complement my AK47 and East German military gear collection. Thanks for the help men!

So I have a rifle with dual proof stamps. Having east german DDR markings, Does this make my rifleman unique or rare in any way?
