Jordan picked up a special gewehr here. Congrats on it and the outstanding pics!

It's a Czech bolt & since it's not original to the rifle, checking the headspace prior to shooting it would be wise....

The stock is not original matching. Many more pics are required to determine value.

Jordan, this was a great pickup, & for a very, very good price. Congrats & thanks for sharing the pics.

Great that you finally snagged this Jeff. A rare piece for sure.

First Torpedo Abteilung….torpedo boats/ships, an early stock

Paul is correct, it's hard to get the rare stock & do the reverse restoration. I picked this up years ago, I even have an extra KM G98 bolt, but never any luck on finding that early DWM G98 naval receiver/barrel.

That's a keeper, much nicer condition than mine. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Yes, that's a nice clean one, & the unit marking is a big plus. I've got 3 or 4, as I recall one is maker marked/dated, but none clean like yours. Thanks for sharing the pics...

In reality, probably not. Swapping bolts gets us into potential headspace issues, & that's something they would choose to avoid, just as we would now...

A fine, un messed with, rare maker/date gewehr, and with a dated, original sling. A great pickup, I can't think of a better caretaker than you for this one. You just need a good lid to compliment it & you're good to go.

Here's my m/m one for reference, a converted G98.

A nice honest gewehr, good pickup. The sling looks odd at the quick release buckle. How about better pics of that area, without that leather keeper that doesn't belong with it.

Wolfgang (& Absolut), thanks for your input on this gewehr.

"fake" is a pretty large word to toss around, similar to "mint" I've seen occasionally on the site. I note what Absolut points out regarding the rear base, and possibly is a replacement, as is the scope. If the scope was #'d to the rifle then that would raise suspicions, but it's not. Most all...

Jeff's rifle is CB's old rifle. I'm glad he's the new caretaker.

I've been following this thread and find it very interesting & informative. Just curious, were the blued parts such as both front & rear bands serial #'d after bluing?

I like it, good pickup with that unique date. Congrats & thanks for sharing the pics.

"the half shaft nib on end of flag was broken cleanly off" What in the world are you talking about, lol

imho, I'd get some refund $$$$ and keep it. Very clear proofs for beech, action cover is an add on & doesn't go well with it (sell it), sling isn't that great a shape & doesn't go well with it (sell it too). Get some CA glue , extra thin, for the crack.
