Oh my. That’s not good. I must agree, return it if you can. That is many things, but K98k is not one of them. KJ

Yup, Brünn I. KJ

I think Warrior said it earlier. What the Germans really needed was Dieudonné Saive’s magnificent FN-49 design. Alas, it was not to be as he escaped Belgium with his blueprints before the Germans got there. Instead, because of pride and arrogance, the Germans wasted 3 years developing a...

I like the color. KJ

Boy thoe byf42’s are pretty. But then, the Germans thought the war was pretty much over... KJ

I would start with a RC byf43 or byf44. Find some HT mounts and decide what kind of optic you want, or can afford. Read up on the snipers and ask questions. We have several guys here who a world class experts on K98k snipers. I am not one of them. KJ

Thanks Dave. KJ

This is the best option, IMO. BTW, is Robert Spielauer still selling his HT mounts? KJ

That rifle pegs the cool meter. KJ

I think Innsbruck. But I’m not 100% on that. This thread might be helpful. http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?6788-WTK-what-quot-depot-level-rework-quot-means-and-how-the-system-was&highlight=depot+level+rework KJ

You have done well, that is a really nice byf43. Kudos to you for asking questions first and, for asking the right guys. Welcome to the collective. BTW, if you haven’t bought Volumes 1-3 of Mike & Bruces books, IMO, they should be on your to do list. They are invaluable. :thumbsup: KJ

Absolutely. KJ

Is he cleaning an MP-40? KJ

I joined 1st Ranger Battalion 1/75th Infantry (Ranger) in late 1975, one year after the battalion formation and about 3 months after Saigon fell. Jesus, it was a lifetime ago. I was in Alpha company, 2nd platoon, weapons squad. This thread is drifting but WTH. Here are a couple of photos...

I jumped with my M-60 many a time. In fact, it was my M-60 that substantially contributed to me being 70% disabled per the VA. Bad, bad night jump and landing. Lot’s of little things went wrong and Loren got broken in many places...:googlie KJ

I loved that heavy bitch. Carried her for two years. :thumbsup: KJ

Short of a museum, it doesn’t get any better than that. Absolutely fantastic, literally, what dreams are made of for most of us. Certainly me. :thumbsup: KJ

Über cool. I’ll never shoot or own one unless I win the lottery. I have fired 10’s thousands of rounds from an M-60 though, which as most you guys know, was in large part based on FG-42 & MG-42. I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with that.:googlie KJ

Truth. KJ
