    Early stock for a 1940 Steyr 660

    The picking is mighty slim to find a stock for my rifle. It was in a hideous sporter stock that I just got rid of. Any ideas on where I can pick up a half decent stock? The metal parts all match except for the sling band so its nice, but no pristine, all matching , prize winner. Thanks

    Front sight question

    I have very little knowledge about the k98 and I am just starting to learn. My question is that I have a 1940 dated 660 that was in a sporterized stock. I would like to get this rifle back to as close to original configuration as I can. It has mismatch bolt so its not any prize winner, but I...
