Mauser Oberndorf 1917 G98m

Is the bolt of this rifle a 98k bolt?

The stock (although repaired and mismatching) has the 98k-sling-hole.

I wonder, if this is a afterwar mix.

More pics.......

The bolt appears to be from a K98k. Pictures of the acceptance marks on the underside of the bolt root would say for sure.

I agree, the bolt is 98k, but will work fine if it is mechanically sound. As Frank stated, the acceptance will tell you what it came out of (maker-date), but you would have to provide enough good pictures.

As to the stock, no these are not period done (mated), the German armorer would have matched up the stock to the action. There is really no variation to this, in all cases the bolt and stock would be "matched" to the rifle if replaced. This practice was more stringent in the Republican and National Socialist era than the Imperial wartime era.

Thank you for your answers. The bolt is a 98k one indeed. WaA 280.

I had some time to take the rifle apart in the meantime. The front part of the stock is matching with the receiver, while the buttstock is not (7030).
I looks like that the number was stamped very cleary. Is it possibly that this was done after the war(s)?

The handguard has another number, but a "30" (which would match to the 7030) was added later. Anybody has seen something like this?

Original barrel.

Stock - the internal serial on the stock matches the barreled receiver (7870)? Though the external serial on the stock is mismatched?

It is not unheard of for wartime stocks to have been reserialed to match internally while leaving the external serial unaltered, though your stock seems to have postwar alterations (side sling arrangement and bolt cutout together in the Imperial era is only possible with the radfahrergewehr-bicyclist rifle, a rather rare variation).

Anyway, your pictures leave me with some uncertainty, mostly because I can't place the pictures in the context of the rifle as a whole. If it is some wartime replaced stock, or even interwar replaced stock there should be a ordnance depot acceptance somewhere, in the wartime Imperial era its typically on the buttplate, interwar it is typically on the buttstock somewhere.

While a lot of variation and oddity (expediency) existed in the republican era, certain things were rigid, one of them is serialing components. They didn't get all sentimental about keeping things regimented (tediously organized or exacting in style, things done over a 15 year period by hundreds of different men and organizations will have differences), but they did follow specific protocols and directives.

Yes, the internal number matches the receiver. The stock was put together from two different ones, so perhaps they simply were not renumbered.
The rifle has the hole in the trigger assembly as well as the hock at the front, so it is no Radfahrer as far as I know.

Nevertheless the buttstock has only Imperal stamps, the side sling arrangement and bolt cutout.

I didn't find any ordnance Depot stamps on the stock (should be a number, right?) an there is only the serial number on the buttplate (even other Imperal stamps are missing).
