Hey guys. Just wanted to share what I recently picked up on auction. For the price I couldn’t pass it up even though it’s a bolt mismatch. Stock was probably cleaned at some point. Mirror bore, mint. Came with a decent sling as well. Tried my best with my iPhone, but my lighting has a lot to be...

Hey, he hasn’t been online for a while, few months now. Does anybody have any contact info? Thanks.

Hey guys, Was going through my collection today and way in the back row I found one of my “restos” from circa 2012. I purchased the action from gunboards member Kysunfish circa 2012 who purchased it from fellow gunboards member Solman…. I recall Solman asking questions about it when he owned...

Hey guys. Wanted to share something I discovered on my matching barreled action. I purchased this probably 14+ years ago. It’s a ce44 matching action that was sitting in a 1943 Mauser Oberndorf Norwegian rework stock with unnumbered late war bands. So essentially it was an Sporter rescue...

Anybody familiar with this mark on the bottom of the rear sight base? Base is otherwise unmarked. What assembler/manufacturer would these be most often supplied to? I do not have any reference materials with me at the moment.

Hey guys, I have finally secured the final missing piece for my byf42. A armorer’s replacement front milled band. The original stock was cut down practically to the cleaning rod nut but i have the original rear band and band spring. I have a perfect MO replacement front end of stock to have...

Hey guys, I am looking at purchasing a Byf45 locally. Unfortunately I do not have all my reference material with me and I’m mostly a J.P Sauer collector as many of you know. From what I know it’s sitting in a kriegsmodell stock and it’s all blued. The serial number is in the 358XX no letter...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I have been on these forums. I took a break from k98k collecting but now I'm working my way back. Days ago I won an auction on eBay for a CE bolt that just happens to be exactly 40 rifles off one of my actions. I'm pretty sure its a 1944 "c" block bolt judging...

K98k JP Sauer SSR 1943 Sniper....? Hey guys, I've been searching and reading the web and my reference books. Unfortunately we all know about the severe data and "fake rifle" errors in the BBOTW Vol2 sniper book. There really doesnt seem to be alot of information out there IMO. Ive always...

Hey Guys, I picked up a CE42 from a fellow gunboards collector a while back. Its basically a bolt mismatch (with a Sauer bolt) and with its stock cut right before the rear band. Unfortunately, the original end piece is MIA and so are the bands and original handguard. Not a big deal to me...

Hey Guys, I picked up a CE 41 barreled receiver with matching triggerguard assembly from a fellow member on gunboards.com a few weeks ago. The right side receiver has a E/211 proof over an asterisk with 2 E/37 proofs to the above right. This was discussed on gunboards with a fellow member and...

I picked up a "not drilled for cleaning rod" RC red glue stock a while ago. There is no serial number in the barrel channel only a "dtp" stamp. Absolutely no evidence of sanding out the serial, even wood color all around and even channel. Looking over the kriegsmodell book, it appears all the...

Hello, I was wondering if the experts wouldn't mind chiming in on a question that has been leaving me curious. Most of us have come to love jp sauer's unique finishing and polishing of their k98s. The question is what type of bluing was applied to Sauer rifles and parts? Was it a rust bluing...

Hello, I have posted on gunboards a thread about this and other than a few people trying to help me out, I have not had much luck with answers. I picked up a very interesting CE43 receiver. It was a good deal but no matter how much I harrassed the seller (a gunsmith) for the original barrel and...
