Hi Everyone,
Hope I'm not wearing out my welcome on these, if so just let me know. Did order the vol. 2 books of the Karabiner 98k series to start out with the other day, so may be able to answer a lot of my own questions soon.But I sure appreciate your time on these posts!
This byf 42 completed auction on Gunbroker looked very good to me and was wondering if I was mislead. Really interested in knowing if the the font on the bolt look good to you experts - to me it looks like the real deal as far as machine marks and font, am I wrong on this?
The WaW135 on rh stock and barrel seem to match which checks out to correct date to s/42,byf Mauserwerk, Oberndorf.
The butt plate looks cleaned or replaced to me, but the recoil bar nut on closeup pic looks okay, maybe a bit shiny but the take down washer looks good.
Does the script L L in the sling recess mean anything?
The stock, couldn't find much at all wrong.A
Any problems I missed?
This got a lot of interest and sold for $2075
here are a few pics - 80 pics in all on auction site - link to auction:
