After asking around for a few months if anyone would be willing to part with one I was finally able to pick up a Gustloff MG barrel '98. This rifle contains all of the typical features of a MG Gustloff with extremely rough finishing near the wrist of the stock. Rifle is all matching; however, there is a crack in the wrist of the stock which I do not mind as it is in beautiful condition. condition.

Not the easiest variation to find, trust me. I lookeS for years for one, months of looking is light speed!

I was surprised (and extremely happy) how fast I was able to obtain one. I am expecting my search for an unfinished Gustloff will take years (if not decades), that is if I find one!
 
Very cool rifle. I'm not a late-war obsessed guy, but of all the unusual rifles to come at the end of the war, these are my favorite.
 
In all my years I have never actually seen one of these. It is one of the most interesting variants. Congratulations on getting it, especially in such great condition.
 
Great Find!! I would love to add an MG barrel BCD to the hoard someday. Weds night at the show was crazy, It was like a shark feeding frenzy as the doors opened.

I think the hour delay added a bit to the feeding frenzy, everyone was just waiting to spend some money.
 
Congratulations on a great find! The machinegun barreled BCD 4's are really cool. My machinegun barreled bcd 4 is one of my favorites in my collection.

Yes I remember seeing this rifle on Richard's table even held it in my hands during setup. But he pulled out something that I was far more interested in. Sometimes you can't own them both! Glad to see someone here get it though and not a dealer. Thanks for sharing.

Oh you know it Mike you have no clue what he will pull out from his gun socks and place in the racks! It's like a mystery box! We do have alot of good laughs though I call Richard my grandpa all the time! He keeps telling me I have enough kids!
