    Recommended ammunition companies

    Looking at buying an Israeli Refurb K98, have a Kriegsmodell stock question?

    I have what I would assume to be an 'early' conversion 7.62 Israeli, and my stock appears to be 'original' to the rifle. It's your typical laminate stock complete with the bolt takedown disc and no finger grooves. However I have seen many that you describe, with the finger grooves below the...

    Question about butt plates

    Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding of the transition to the cupped buttplate was to prevent the rear of the buttstock from swelling/delaminating when exposed to water. G.

    Best repo sling

    Another vote for At The Front, if a reproduction is what you're looking for. I have a couple of them, and they are very good for the price you pay. Cheers. G.

    Don't think it's Yugo... I have a Yugo that came with (of course) a recent Yugo acquisition... the non keeper end doesn't have that riveted fold in it....

    Action jamming when chambering first round?

    Is it just me?.... Just a thought, but looking from the posted photos... there seems to be an awful lot of 'crud' on the front/face of that bolt.... perhaps a simple really good scrubbing may be in order.... Cheers G.

    Unexpectedly, Received a 98k bring back that was my grandfathers

    It is to refreshing to hear that it is being passed down to a new generation. Too many times such things end up being auctioned off instead of being passed on to the 'younglings'... Congratulations on having a fine rifle. G.
