A bit more research on my part and I have answered my own question. It looks to be a depot repair / replacement. I have run across other examples in threads on this forum.

The butt plate has a W 8 and either a 7 or a partial z. Vertical top to bottom. I tried to post a photo, but it was too large a file.

The bolt on my recently purchased Gew 98 1915 Oberndorf A/N has three s/n's stamped on the root of the bolt handle. The most recent stamping matches the s/n of the rifle. All other parts appear to be matching. The stamping appears to match other factory stamping is size and style. The other two...

I finally put them all in one photo. Top to bottom: Erma DSM 34, Gustoff-Werke KKW, FN ABL 1952 Navy, FN ABL 1952 Navy, FN ABL 1952 Army, MAS 45. The bottom one is not a trainer but a FN ABL 30.06. Another view. LTC

KKW22, Here is a photo of the two I purchased this spring. I haven't taken photos of the latest Navy I acquired yet. My Mauser actioned trainer list is: 1 Erma DSM34, 1 Gustoff Werke KKW, 1 MAS45, 1 Army FN ABL 1952 & 2 Navy FN ABL 1952's. I also have an FN ABL 1952 in 30-06. LTC

I tried to round out my FN Mauser trainer collection, but it went higher than I was willing to spend. I would say it was in good but not great shape. I let the other bidder have it after it reached $727.00. Did someone here win it? I will hope for another, better example to come along. LTC

Can anyone tell me what these trainers used, or a source for the cleaning or stacking rods? I have accumulate three of them and no rods on any. LTC

They appear to be nice examples. LTC

KKW, Yes it was the one on GB about 2 weeks ago. LTC

I recently acquired this example to add to my trainer collection. The targets are from their first range visit. One is a 10 round group and the other a 5 round. Both benched at 25 yards. LTC

I finally broke down, bid on & won these two trainers. I had been watching them for about two months with no one bidding on them. I took both to the range yesterday with very nice results. Black one is Belgium Army and the grey one is Belgium Navy. FN produced 500 of each under Belgium...

A photo of the KKW 50 yard target. It took a few ranging shots to establish the correct sight picture and point of aim. LTC

KKW22, I'm not a member at Cherry Ridge. The Hunter Safety Range I use is in Clinton, NJ. I have numerous .22 rifles, but lately I have been drawn to military trainers. I have 1 1922 Springfield MI converted to MII, Two Lee Enfield No.2 Mk.4's and the Gustoff KKW I've posted here. I am a...

I managed to take my Gustoff KKW to the 50 yard hunter safety range the other day. After a few ranging shots to get the correct point of aim, I think the rifle did well for itself. As I stated in my previous post, the trigger is remarkable. The target in the photo was shot at 50 yards. LTC

Oldwing, Yes, 6 0 clock hold from a sandbagged rest. Windage alignment is almost dead on at 25 yds. LTC

Oldwing, The black bull on my target is 3.0". It is a 50' pistol target. LTC

I have been having trouble posting photos here from my Photobucket account. Not sure why. I managed to take the KKW to the range today for it's first tryout. I was impressed. Twenty five yards using Federal HV bulk ammunition got me a 4 round group I could cover with a dime, but about 2" high...

This is my first post. I have been reviewing The Small Bore Forum and would like to post a photo of the Gustoff KKW I purchased this week. I feel it is in exceptional condition, only minor handling marks in the stock and hand guard. I would rate the bluing and areas in the white at 98% or...
