Hi guys, first post here. Picked up a 1940 Russian capture in relatively good condition recently. The bore is immaculate and shoots well.

Its just the organic component that lets it down [emoji23][emoji1303]

Welcome to the forum. Don't worry, the wood still looks to be in decent shape. Its just the red shellac that is flaking off. Good score. :thumbsup::welcome:

By organic, i meant me [emoji23]
Really wouldn't mind stripping it down and giving the timber a bit of love

I like the e/4 proofed barrel. Welcome aboard.
I hate to ask a potentially silly question here (and yes i did search for an answer but nothing jumped out at me) but what do you mean by e/4 proofed barrel?

The barrel has WaA4 proofs on the barrel, indicating bSw proofing. The bSw manufacturer is my preferred maker of k98's. Not sure how that barrel ended up on and serial numbered to this RC rifle but it has my interest. You say it's a 1940 rifle. Though bSw ceased production in 1939 so it would appear a leftover barrel was used on that receiver. What is the manufacturer code?

Ooops, Sorry about that. My mistake... o_O

It's a Sauer reciever Dave. You can see a shadow of the "14..."

Damn it, I see e/4's everywhere now. It doesn't look like enough room between the A and 4 for anything to me.

On the top of the reciever is the 14... and assuming a 7, the barrel is definitely WaA4 marked!
