And as my old friend John Wall always maintained, any Romanian contract VZ 24 has a very good chance to have seen action on the Eastern front!

Just need info from a more informed source. Here is what I have. It is a CZ Sporting Rifle in 8mm Mauser. Double set triggers, express sights, spoon bolt handle, excellent blue quality, nicely checkered walnut furniture, Schnabel style fore end on the Mannlicher stock. The interesting part is it...

Did you note the stock was broken at the wrist?

Time to thin things a bit. Thanks for the earlier replies. Considering the stock situation, do you think $600 is unreasonable as a sale figure? TIA.

IDK how you get a non-crescent "beefy" wrench? Best I can tell a 9mm is about right as a 3/8's is a tad loose and a 5/16's won't fit. None of them are much bigger than a carpenter's pencil. I'll go to Home Depot and see what options I have tomorrow. IF I leave the action in the stock it sure...

Well Mike I know the last time he shot it he didn't as the bore was still filthy ;) I cleaned it first, and thankfully it wasn't surplus ammo, as the bore cleaned up nicely with no pitting, or sign of corrosive ammo. The fellow I got it from said he had not shot it and included an unused...

Still no luck. Adding a drop of Kroil two of three times a day and once a day I give it a crank with the wrenches, but nothing doing other than the crescent slipped and boogered the piston slightly......grrrrr. Keeping after it and will add a torch to the mix tonight.:facepalm:

Yes I did. Penetrating oil was the only suggestion, with the only variation being the brand. Thought someone here might have a magic formula. I just don't know how much pressure to apply, maybe I'm babying it?

OK, got the shooter's kit and springs. All was well till I tried to switch out the gas piston. Solid a a rock. Have been applying Kroil every few hours to no avail. Any tricks, or advice. I got this rifle to shoot, but don't want to ruin it either.

Very nice! Looking hard for one like it that's not priced as though it just came from the War Museum ;)

Sold for $2550!

IIRC, just the barrel shank and the receiver. The bolt is unmarked and the receiver obviously does not have an X. The other parts (including the stock) do not match. Only the funky blue, lack of capture screws, and stock re-number really indicate RC from what I know. It is intriguing that the...

Photos added I got my buddy to take a couple pix with his phone and send. I think you can see the stock markings pretty well. See what you think of the stock now.

I came over here after I had a successful dispersal of my remaining Russian guns in Tulsa last month. I then spent over a third of what I grossed on a K43 and came for info. I've enjoyed the site and folks here. I have some Mausers, just not a lot of German used ones, but a few. I decided to...

? I know nothing about that. Would those have had the WaA's on the right butt and an acceptance cartouche above that? Don't think it was Heer, but didn't look that hard either.

No, no interest, he just knows I collect guns and wanted info. I gave him a repro K98 sling I had in my sling box. He has a Carcano, and a Garand, and this. Just being helpful.

K98k with Banner stock (RC?) PHOTOS ADDED Help me out here guys. I have a pretty good number of pre-98 and SA contract Mausers, but not many WWII types. My neighbor brought over his K98 wanting details as to value, etc. It looks like a RC in that it has a dip blue, but has no X and the bolt is...

Thank you sir.

Been getting help from Kelly (thanks buddy!), but hate to bombard him further. My ac/45 'd' block seems totally as issued, except for the gas cylinder (?) which is the early blued version. Found this one in an old thread on another site and want to approach the guy about a trade, but obviously...
