Hello everyone.
So, I have a "kar98" wich has a Kar98 AZ chamber ( marked 1916 Erfurt ) but a kar98k barrel because it was modified by hunters after the second world war.
I know Kar98 AZ were developped to shoot the " 8x57 J " cartridge, and during ww2 the guns were marked with a new "S" symbol on the receiver to show they were converted to the new 8x57 JS that the kar98k shoots.
However, my kar98 doesn't have that "S" marking, do you think i can still fire the wayyyy more commong 8x57 JS cartridge with it ? Is it safe ?
Thanks in advance
