I am I can’t thank you enough. We’ll talk more about this stuff later on. Thanks

Thanks, and that’s what I’ve been using was the http://k98.free.fr/ website lately. Very nice website for collecting this stuff. And now you brought me an additional! Thanks, I’m looking at investing in these s84/98 bayos. They’re very interesting to me personally.

Wow, this is exactly what I needed! Thanks grimlin13! But when I clicked on the link now, I saw that there were some grey boxes, a few being white, besides a majority being green. What does this indicate?

I've seen a lot of liners on eBay that look very similar to this example. I've always said that if the liner leather has that wood...

Fal Grunt, This is an excellent explanation that completely answered my question. When talking about k98's personally, "I" myself call re-bluing, original markings grinded off then restamped with repro and sometimes original stamps that we refer to as humped, and refinished stocks, "I've" always...
