Has anyone seen a stock acceptance mark like this? I don’t have the books to flip through in front of me at the moment. I know the WaA number is not always present but it looks like the H is double stamped or something. Just curious on anyone’s thoughts. Rifle is kind of a Frankenstein depot...

I’m sorry if this isn’t in the right place and definitely not interesting but I need some help. Just recently I’ve noticed that the forum is not showing uploaded photos but instead only showing the jpg/link to photos. So I now have to click on each individual link for every pic. New forum posts...

I’ve been wondering what would make the difference in stock colorations. Something that was put on for protection such as stain or oils. Most rifles leaving the factory would have been similar in coloration right? My byf 43 is very dark colored so I would have to guess something was put on the...

I apologize if this is not allowed or if I am in error. But I have seen a ce44 for sale with it being said it has an original but not matching stock. It looks sanded to me and it has the second recoil lug near the wrist. I’m still a newb but that style was never used on k98’s right? I snagged a...

Looking at this dou 44. Any input on it? Non matching supposed BYF late stock. Does that appear to be correct, at least time period wise?

I am thinking about getting a replacement stock for a Yugo capture 98/48. I am wondering what the average price for an early style flat but plate stock is. I could possibly settle for a later cupped style if there is that big of a price difference. Would appreciate some help before I go asking...

I have been thinking about trying to get my hands on a G 33/40 but I have never even held one let alone seen one in person. Gun shows in my areas are definitely lacking in this area. Even k98’s are very scarce and usually in pretty rough shape if found. So I am wondering how often one comes...

Out of curiosity, do these stock repairs appear to be done war time or maybe a little more recent?

Between only going to work and home and not doing much else I decided to make a post that will hopefully help pass a little time. I was looking for something to do the other day and decided to do a little photo shoot. I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped me out on a few...

Bought a few dou 44 and 45 k98 stripper clips and supposedly they are original but I have my doubts. They are all in excellent condition, like brand new to be honest. They are in even better shape than some new reproduction ones I have. Any input is appreciated.

I am looking at a 42 code 1939 and the front sight is grooved for a hood. Is that too early for that feature or was this becoming a thing before 1940-41? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am wondering if there were different styles of lock screws used. I have a BYF 43 with round head screws and I have a depot unmarked receiver that has the usual half moon cut out screws. The half moon ones are the style I always see. Are the ones in my all numbers matching byf43 correct...

I recently got my first k98. It doesn’t have a manufacturer stamp but has several WaA359 markings. Many parts such as barrel, receiver, safety select, floor plate, bolt, and bolt release have matching serial numbers. I have been told this may be a depot rifle. Any info would be appreciated.
