Literally just got this rifle. Oiled it and snapped pics. All matching late dou43. Bayo lug was removed via the pin when it was found, indicating likely GI bringback.
All stamped parts, mint bore. Came with hood, rod and sling. Foxbrook found it in AZ and thought of his K98K starving friend in Canada.

More new pics.

Along with the sling that came with the rifle. I just today, 10/12/14 noticed the makers mark and waffenamt during my reshoot of this rifle. Nice bonus.

Nice honest combat carried rifle.. Glad to see you were able to grab it.. You have a nice grouping of 98's there are well..
 
Nice rifle Canuck! Great combat carried piece. The smart GI knocked out that pin and removed the bayonet lug instead of duffle cutting the stock. By removing the bayonet lug the same result is achieved. My G.29/40 came knocked down like that as it was mailed home as well. The original pin was still in the lug. Very nice collection. Pic stickied for reference. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys.

I was lucky too ham, the pin was in the lug, lug stuck band in the band. Best possible dufflecut scenario.
 
Got a new camera and decided to reshoot some rifles to do them a bit more justice.

found some of that pinkish wood fill the czechs seem to have used.
