Hi All,
It's always interesting how things work out. Years ago I purchased a "d" block Simson e/6 bolt on eBay hoping I could one day use it.
I was very happy to purchase this rifle from another forum member. It ended up being a perfect home for the bolt I'd been holding. (Actually reinforces my habit of hording parts) While it's been discussed previously, I wanted to share a few more detail pictures that might be of interest.
As noted previously, it's an "e" block Simson built with a spare receiver with the "Karab98b" siderail and no roll marks on the receiver ring. Bolt, buttplate and cleaning rod are mismatched, but everything else is matching or depot matched.
The Floorplate looks to be a depot-replaced Sauer and on the ball of the stock is a very faint apparent "Kg" depot stamp. I can't really capture it fully, but it's there. This is the first 98b I've seen with a Konigsburg marking.
The other pics speak for themselves, but really pleased with the rifle. This is my first Simson, but it goes pretty well with my S28 98bs.
