    What is this rifle?

    It's a KKW single shot 22lr trainer. Produced by BSW. However, it has had some reworking done. The sling swivel cut has been filled as well as the bolt take down washer. Stock was refinished. The duffle bag cut and repaired; this is not that bad only shows it was a bring back. The butt plate was...

    Mauser-Made M71 Jager...

    I have a question. Te hole in the butt plate. Is there a void behind it like a long screw was there ? The counter bore in the barrel. Is there trace of anything being pushed in there. The reason I ask is. This one looks like it could have been a lamp at one tine. Bolt through butt plate to...

    Accuracy Potential of the Mauser ES350N and ES350B

    I have a pair of es 340 bs that I shoot on a regular basis. Both are soped one with an old Weaver K 10 and the other has a modern 6x24. Both will hold their own in the 22 varmint matches at the club against modern target 22s. Gotta love these and the trainers.

    Looking for info on a Gew 98 1908 which has been in storage for many years.

    The problem with these ie. Many times the recievers were scrubed of all markings. Sometims just the proofs and serial numbers. Just depends who did it. after the new barrels were added the rifles had to be proofed again. so now you have commercial proofs instead of the gov't ones. Other parts...

    KKW Prize with stamped butt plate

    I got this rifle from the son of the vet that brought it back. The story is he made it out of two rifles. One had a broken stock. The other had no bolt. He moved the buut plate to this because it had writing. It appears to be a Mauser action in a BSW / Gustloff stock. Si it.s a parts gun. When I...

    More info on this Karabiner?

    Here's a start for answers. Your rifle is a Yugo rebuild done after the end of the war . It has an earlier flat butt plate stock not one of the later cupped style. It's a mix master of parts bands etc. This was done during the rebuild process. From what you can see it sports a new Yugo made...

    Can anyone identify this ?

    Looks like the ones for the post war Yugo mausers. Cut out so it will lock around the front sight with the hood on.

    What the heck is this thing?

    OK I'll add my 2 cents. It would appear that this is a parts gun. Would really like to see some better pictures of the barrel bands and any other marks or proofs. The one thing that pops out is that's not a Gew. stock. Its cut for a handguard clip, the relief is right in front of the...

    Paatz .22 Sporter
