Bruce, when can we send the money and any chance I can have my copy with your John Hancock?

Stop hoarding the pics brother! Let’s see this thing!

Speaking of senior member Gunkraut. Does anybody have his contact info by any chance? I’ve been trying to reach him via PM here for some time with no success. He hasn’t been on here or gunboards for some months now… any leads would be appreciated.

You would think people would first open a book, buy a translated manual on eBay or just google or YouTubing a video before pulling out the hood old Home Depot husky flathead….

Too far gone. You would need a a really good smith. A barrel, from your description, a new bolt. I bet the stock is Butchered, so a new stock. All these parts will result in a complete mixmaster Frankenstein no matter what. You’re talking about hundreds of dollars for a k98k that will be...

That area is not supposed to be separated from each other…. Maybe somebody at some point tried prying the floorplate out of the triggerguard and this may have been the result…. Who knows but it’s damaged.

Floorplate is damaged. Get a replacement. This is obviously not a matching rifle and parts are scrubbed of inspections. Easiest thing to do imo to solve the issue and picking up a serialed random replacement should be relatively inexpensive and easy.

Agreed, but bore for me should be considered in the price as well. Personally, I wouldn’t pay $500 a RC with a dark “fair” bore. Counterbore is where I draw the line. Again, that’s just me though. I understand that counterbored rifles can and do shoot very well and even sometimes even restore...

For $1000, leave it where it sits. If it was sitting its force matched refurbed stock, then maybe $700-$800 depending on how great the bore and muzzle is. The yugo stock takes away a good amount of value IMO. Byf44 coded receivers are fairly common. Just not worth that money. If the bore was...

A couple more of mine but one has 1 e/37 on bottom and the other has two e/37s so look to be earlier war bolts. BSW bolts should be really well-finished. You should barely have machining marks on the bolt root flats imo. The OP’s looks to be maybe a mid war - later bolt where proofing was...

It’s JPS for me. The suffix and the fonts….. here are pics of a couple of my rifles. I could probably dig up a few more. One has a B and I’ve seen this plenty of times on JPS bolts. I also have one with a small lowercase “a” next to the trademark JP Sauer firing proof. All of my bolts in this...

Looks JP Sauer to me… the “h” and the small FP

Loves karate kid?

JP Sauer and son numbered the parts you mentioned to the end, just like in this example. I’m yet to see an exception to that. It wasn’t a free for all at JPS, at the end…they finished assembly of k98ks and moved into STG/MP 44 production. It would be highly improbable to have a late original...

I can imagine it’s fairly easy to boost up prices by stamping a refurb mosin with a SA stamp…

Thanks. Appreciate that.

Mission compete looks like. However, I do feel bad for the OP and his purchase. Really sucks to be hit with a reality check after all those positive comments. I’ve been there myself, it stings bad especially when you spend a good amount of your hard earned money.

If that’s all mod Miller Tyme can throw towards me, that’s hilarious. Notice how he conveniently edited my post and deleted the part where I edited it to include “Post is back up now, Thanks”. I have the time stamp proof, so he can pound sand. That DOU thread was gone for 20 mins at least! I...

I think if the paint is removed, it will be clearly visible that they are also “humped”.

I’m still at it! I refuse to be censored! https://www.gunboards.com/threads/dou-42-thread-removed-deleted.1268395/?post_id=11518505#post-11518505 Now it’s back up, lol
