Ive been MIA for awhile but I picked this up a few months ago and wanted to share it. Its a 1917 V.Chr.Schilling Suhl Gew.98 that has been converted to K98k configuration. The original barrel was kept and shortened. The stock is an armorers replacement and is 'C' marked on the heel and E/18 marked in the barrel channel. Recoil lug and bayonet lug are imperial marked. A non matching walnut handguard was reused. No depot proofs anywhere on the action or wood. The rear band and bandspring are unmarked. Almost all the rear sight components are P74 save for the WaA63 spring. It came with a nice L&F marked sling and 'jxn 1943' marked keeper too.
Unfortunately the bolt does not match. Bolt looks to be out of a bnz 44?
Intersting notes:
-The cleaning rod nut, is simply a nut that has been threaded and was placed inside the cleaning rod nut hole.
-The stock was not drilled for the bayonet lug pin.
-The recycled walnut handguard has a metal ring added to the lip for reinforcement.
-The stock was not relieved for the early type receiver tang, causing the rear of the action to stinkbug in the stock.
With all the nice work of converting the action and parks to K98k specs, you would think whoever did the stock work would've paid more attention to detail?
