I'm looking to build an early k98 sniper clone. I'm wanting to know the first few mount variations they used. I have Googled but am not really finding anything solid.
I had heard low turret was one of the first and high tureet was late war
Is a time frame known when the ssr variations and the low turret were introduced?
A couple close friends of mine have a Period Document that talks about the Sauer Mount and Argentine aka Low Turret Mount Sniper Rifles being fielded in the Polish & Low Country Invasions . That would be 1939 1940 Period . Best Regards .
..... Mauser is where Zf.39 (1939) designation came into being for scoped Mausers. This was the original designation at Mauser for the Low Turret system.
You did! I have a front base for the OM Dialytan. ;-)...I have never seen Rings and Bases for either type in all my Years of collecting . Best Regards
More or less: NO!
The ZF39 designation is only correct for Zeiss Zielvier scopes from the Reichswehr period reissued with low turret mount.
All other 4x scopes are "Gewehr Zielfernrohr handelsüblich".

..... in fact I have a Front Base myself . ......
..... Not really familiar with the Gewehr Zielfernrohr Handelsublich terminology. ....
From the 1943 manual about sniper training.
Beat you again my friend.
Have a front base with saddle!
But, as with my AJACK OM, it most likely only is a commercial mount.
BTW:
please note that the dial locking screw of the Zeiss Zielvier is pointing to the rear.
I've never encountered that on real SSR scopes.
They always point towards the muzzle.
