Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I've figured out the last one is for an MG34. Any chance these are real or reproduction? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Folks, I've been off the grid for a good while, and never had much I could contribute - my apologies. I found these three front sight tools at Knob Creek this past weekend. I am pretty sure I've got the larger two figured out as one fits my K98k and the other my K43. What i can't determine...

Does anyone have an idea as to what type of sight or scope mount the receiver was tapped to use? I assume that it is not factory - or is it factory? Thanks Shannon

Bob, Thanks. I sent an email as requested. Shannon

This and a Mauser DSM walked into our semi-annual show last weekend. Pretty happy with this buy. I've been looking for a nice Kar 88. Regards, Shannon

I found this last weekend at my clubs semi-annual gunshow. It was a walk-in. It has a few issues, but for the price i felt it was worth the effort to fix. It has a pretty nasty crack at the wrist and the sights are missing. The receiver is also tapped. Any suggestions are where to buy...

Hambone, No argument from me with regards to valuable, worthwhile collecting and fakery. Availability, cost and lack of fraud is what initially attracted me to Arisakas. I have seen a slight up tick in shady behavior in the past decade with them. I suppose that means the collecting world...

Wow, I just spent the morning reading all posts and forums regarging subject rifle. Depressing - I reminds me why I would always walk past K98ks. I assumed they were all humped. Since I have developed an interest in them I have approached each rifle cautiously. A big thanks for this site...

Hambone, The thread is a good read. DAK stands for? Surplus sale makes sense. Likely Sam Cummings/INTERARMS as I doubt they were brought here by our returning GI. They would have been Commonwealth property at the end of the war. Shannon

Hambone, thanks. Searched and missed it.

All, Question. I have been offered an all matching less correct non matching cleaning rod, walnut stock code 42, '39 dated K98k. I only had a chance to handle it briefly (seller was not sure he wanted to sell) so no pictures. From what can determine everything it righteous, excellent...

Gents, thanks for the feedback. I was not sure about the set and was surprised to see it Saturday AM at the SoS. I had two friends encourage me to buy it - glad they did. I like accessories, particularly ordnance. Mauser99, thanks for the offer. I have a pouch being sent to me next week...

Ah, forgot to point out the "ch" code on the launcher. I've don't know the inspection code on the sight. I am not a seasoned German collector. Thanks for the help.

Gents, I bought the attached rifle grenade launcher and sight this past Saturday at the Show of Shows. I then found the spanner at another table. I am comfortable with the launcher and spanner, but don't know what to make of the sight. According to Steves and Karem only one marker is...
