Would have to see better detail of the top bolt root serial and proofing on the bottom of the root…

Honestly…. Unless you have some nice parts on like a rare stock, it’s probably around $800-$900. Bore condition plays a role as well, at least to me.

Very cool. Don’t see those often at all… but you see I was under the impression that the DDR reworks were generally if not almost exclusively made out of Czech produced k98ks. Maybe that’s why we mostly see them as DOT, SWP and DOU receivers. I’ll be honest and admit I’ve only handled one at a...

So what you doing with these puppies? For sale?

Second confirmation. I will take one!

Maybe not a turd after all… im on the fence still but Turbo Archie has a very compelling case. https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/bnz-43-bolt-matching.67057/

Let’s see that zf41!

Your right. This was a late 44 SS contract originally. Barrel code verifies that. The 43 receiver confused me. Mine is the variation with the FP on the barrel and receiver with serial on the receiver. I swear you could see the outline of a FP outline though… but I’m wrong.

Just curious, is your DDR rework a Czech produced rifle? Import marked? Small serial on left side of its stock, under the siderail?

To me, it does not exhibit any of the trademark re-arsenaled post-war rework features. The import mark of the left side of the rear sight base shows “ger”… so Germany, but usually that’s were the firearm originated from in the first place. I am not aware of any East German or even West German...

Steyr (BNZ) was a Manufacturer that produced a late war trademark feature on their stocks. We have come to know it as a “low bolt cutout”. Your bolt body originally belonged to a Mauser Borsigwalde (243) pre-war k98k. I’m seeing double “280” proofs on the bottom and the firing proof is the...

I believe it’s a Balkan import…. Owned a few just like this in the past that exhibited similar characteristics. Does the bolt match itself? It’s at least a JP sauer bolt… Value, the lack of firing proofs (dirty eagles) will hurt a little. The counter bore as well. Let’s be honest, most want...

Good spot! Yea, That’s a new one for me as well.

Not sure what the question is but I’ll give it a go. Is a force matched RC. Standard X stamp on receiver. They mixed and matched parts from random rifles. Fitted the stuff together, checked for function. The metal was “hot dip” Soviet blued which gives it the “black” appearance. It’s not a...

This is been discussed plenty of times if I’m not mistaken. It’s a turd on gunbroker and it’s been listed for a while. Bad description by the seller, I don’t like it all. I think it has the import markings on the left side of the rear sight base. Most likely and I hope that the serial on the...

Good choice. It has the SS contract connection and because it’s a mixmaster of sorts… you can shoot and enjoy it without being scared of effecting its value.

Agree with the above. What the purpose of replacing anything? Won’t make it anymore “matching”. It’s works and it’s your main shooter…. Changing a sight ladder or safety is not going to increase accuracy…

Typical RC. Not uncommon as stated above to have some other inspection mark instead of the more common “X”… Value… $800. Bore condition sways the value up or down from there, at least to me. Is the muzzle counter-bored?

Well… to be honest, Mike2994 is right. The rifle appears to have been honestly described. Sure, he got the date of manufacture wrong by saying it was made in 1943 but that’s a honest mistake and 90% of k98k enthusiasts would get that wrong as well. To compensate, he didn’t mention SS contract...

That’s your call. It’s an interesting ss contract barreled receiver with its somewhat less commonly seen dot subcontracted barrel and it’s matching triggerguard assembly. However that’s all it really has going for it in my opinion. I almost wish the guy was just selling the barreled receiver… I...
