It is so interesting to see this type of item. Hopefully more will be discovered.

That is a wonderful rifle to acquire.

I've never come across an SS rifle, let alone a reworked one. I'm somewhat surprised we don't see more considering the numbers made and the size of the waffen SS. More will probably show up now we know they're out there. A great find.

This has been a very interesting read, I will have to go back through it all again. Thanks for your informative research.

Thats a lovely rifle and family heirloom. I love the quality of those early 98k's

These posts are so interesting and informational on the infrastructure of the armament systems. Thanks and please keep up the research.

Hi Bruce, Mine came today, thanks so much for this. The book series is wonderful and I always find new information to me every time I open them up. Thanks again.

I would like one if you have some left as I don't remember it in my copy. Will try to send my address. Thanks

I listened to this whilst walking my dog. Really fascinating to hear your voices and I learnt some interesting things. Personally I think you could easily run a K98k podcast as there's so much to discuss. Thanks for doing this.

I think it's a repro!

I believe that's a Durofol handguard as found on duv rifles. Strangely my K block ac44 had one and several have been reported in this range on Walther rifles. Although it's often said they were replacements, I believe it may have been original. Nice to find one as they are less common than...

Lovely rifle. Well maintained throughout the war.

I think the "grinding" is just the rough finish you see which is fairly typical of some of the later Oberndorf rifles.

What a wonderful find, that rifle is b eautiful.

A beautiful rifle. Amazing after so many years
