Well, the rifle is an intact Gewehr 98 though you'll probably want to pick up a Gewehr 98 bolt at some point since it looks like a K98k bolt is sitting in the rifle now. I think you would do well if you can pick it around $1000-$1200 given the manufacturer and condition from what I can tell. If...

Welcome to the forum. My first question is it a live rifle or has the barrel been plugged? Some Gewehr 98s were sold to the US public deactivated, typically with the barrel plugged and the bolt face ground at an angle. Given that the bolt is mismatched, knowing if it is a live rifle will help...

That is a fantastic DWM Gewehr 98, that stock is the highlight with how crisp the stamps are on it. Congrats and thanks for sharing in nice pictures of it here!

That bolt pic confirms it as an n block, which is a unique block for 1944 that is theorized to have been created to use up remaining non-Kriegsmodell stocks and externally supplied receivers. Yours has a standard Mauser Oberndorf receiver but others in the block are use either Astrawerke or...

You guys are a bad influence; I've had the itch for a WWI Luger for a little while now and posts like these aren't helping! That is a stunner of a prewar Erfurt, I did not know about the halos not being present on these very early guns. Thanks for sharing such detailed pics of it!

That's super cool and definitely not something you see every day. I really like the last picture showing the comparison between the Kar98 and this, the lasting impression I got from the one MG08/15 I've ever seen in person was the sheer size of the thing. One can only imagine how much machining...

Wish my LGS had a crate of P38s for me to pick through, what an awesome experience! Finding a decent ac41 is a pretty difficult thing to do these days, especially for what you paid for it. Congrats on picking this one up!

Congrats on picking up this gorgeous ex sniper! I was watching the listing which looked good but your photos truly show what wonderful shape this rifle is in. The broken screws are going to be annoying to deal (hopefully, they're fairly soft and easy to drill out) with but I can't wait to see...

You certainly have a good eye for finding some real uncommon rifles, congrats on picking this one up! Thanks for posting the history and some great photos of it, Gewehr 88s are an area I am lacking in compared to 98s and examples like this are fantastic references if I ever come across a decent...

The "i" is Elite Diamantwerke as you said with the Eagle/1 being the waffenamt inspection team assigned to that region that includes Elite Diamantwerke. Elite Diamantwerke made rear sight components so seeing them on your rifle is fine. By 1942, most inspection was dropped from the majority of...

I agree with freudi, the safety and bolt shroud look bad/faked to me. The barrel code of 29 39 Si makes the barrel three years newer than the action assuming it is an Erma barrel so it was rebarreled at some point.

I couldn't find anything that was quick reference on the forum but if you have a copy of Karabiner 98k Volume IIb, then you can reference that which has a breakdown of each subcontractor code for Gustloff rifles. Otherwise, post the markings of the parts you want identified and we can chime in...

Given that the butt plate and tang screws match the action, I would say it's likely the original assuming there's Imperial acceptance stamps on the stock as well. Stocks on these are numbered internally if you really need to know, just make sure that you use the right hollow ground screwdriver...

As Telperion said, it's a Portuguese contract M937, which were just standard Mauser Oberndorf K98k rifles pulled off the line and stamped with a Portuguese crest and serial number on the stock. Roughly 40,000 of the M937s were delivered before they changed over to the M937A with different sling...

C'mon man, you can't just drop a few teasers like that and not show the full rifle! It does look like a wonderful Luftwaffe ar 41, definitely want to see more of it.

Das Winchester ist wunderschön! Es ist die schönste, die ich je gesehen habe. Danke für die tollen Fotos, die Sie hier teilen!

Welcome to the forum. I would need to see more pictures for a complete evaluation including stock condition and markings, buttplate, more of the bolt numbering, floorplate and trigger guard for starters. As for the bayonet being numbered to the rifle, you are correct that matching bayonets to...

@Jdt Congrats on the Gewehr 88! Super tough to find one that isn't sanded, matching, and still in Imperial trim, that's something I'll have to pray I'm lucky enough to find.

Any range day is a good day. What ammo were you using and how did it shoot? I imagine that with a 400m zero, you'd be shooting quite high at 100 yards.

Looks like a pretty nice Walther G41 though I'd like to see some more pictures of that walnut stock. Looks like the recoil lug backwards on this one?
