Trends are based upon my databases, each maker of the Modell98 1898-1945, basically the statistics developed on the rifles I have encountered over the last 20+ years, - while not complete I have developed trends sheets for each maker that list patterns which can be used to monitor changes, serialing patterns, barrel patterns, stock patterns, sub-contracting patterns.
When I filed your rifle in my database and trends sheets, I looked at the others in that year-block as i often do, to see if there is anything interesting that I can share, sometimes a rifle has been recorded before, sometimes the stocks or barrel is interesting enough for a comment, - most of the time nothing is worthwhile sharing and I make no comment (especially if no questions are asked, but generally if someone does a good job illustrating their rifle, beneficial to my projects, I try to answer questions if i have the time or make a comment if one is worthwhile to make)
