JPS long side rail side by side comparison 2300V & 2572X Damn near identicle !!!
This was a subject of disscussion on one of the other threads and It wasnt till my trip to Waffenstadt truro That I was able to photo two nearly un-issued And scary similar rifles.. Keep in mind these two rifles are over 20K apart in serial range and represent the begining the "V" block and the end "x" block of JPS lsr production.. I'm hardly someone who has studied these things and maybe some fresh eyes are needed. I see glaring similarities in finish and production.. The only difference I see is the slow change in two specific parts in the later rifle.. 1] being the triggerguard 2]being the cocking piece. These two items lending to the dec44 production..
The bolt body is the item that sticks out the most. Astrawerke subcontracted and Blued. The stem of the bolt on both rifles shows heating and disstress where it was bent. I have never really noticed this on any other k98 bolt. And here we have two bolts identicle.. The lower bands both have a deep grey phosphate and the uppers a thin wash.. The safties are both the standard blade milled down and serial numbered.
Also the recoil lugs are both deep set in their oversized 'c' stocks and the faces are visibly ground with a stone.. I thought this was an odd feature on the x block when I first saw it at the sos then to see it repeated on the 'V' block was quite a surprize... So my thoughts would be ? Are JPS lsr's more consistant than we first thought ??
Or is this an odd one off example that happened to be paired up with the other ??? Anyway enjoy the photos..I had fun taking them and pairing these two up...
