Hey guys! Just today finished up my Gewehr 88 project. Bought it as a barreled action. Cleaned the entire rifle very thoroughly, sourced the parts I needed, then got in contact with Leszek Foks (fox-military) to ask if he could make me a new stock since originals are all beat to hell. At the time he didn't have them listed on his website, but he made one for me and now has added them to his website. I know 88's are pretty cheap rifles and not many people care for them like they do for K98's but just wanted to show off my build since all my gun buddies are kinda 'basic' in that they only like AR-15's, M1 Garands, Glocks, etc.
It's a 1894 Spandau that was not updated to the 88/05 standard (I'll have to source the old style clips for this soon..). This rifle went to Ecuador and got one of the 'new' czech barrels put on it, so it looks like a brand new barrel side by side with my modern rifles I have! Haven't taken it to the range yet but have high hopes for it.
Thanks guys!
