Gewehr 98 C.G. Haenel 1916 61489g

[PrayingMantis]

Picked this one up from another collector. I wanted to wait to do photos until I could clean it a little, but I couldn’t pass up the good light today. I’ll do another set later.

I was excited to get this one. It has its problems, a worm eaten stock and buffed metal, but it’s a straight bolt and rod mismatch Haenel with super crisp markings. Fascinating to see what parts come from which consortium maker. Interestingly, this one is mostly Haenel, only the barrel, bayo lug, rear sling attachment, buttplate, and one rear sight screw are Sauer while bands and trigger guard components are Schilling.

Barrel and sights. The rear sight components are primarily what need cleaned.

Triggerguard, magazine components, and bands. All Schilling made.

Stock metal.

Stock and handguard. There is some putty in the stock I’m trying to remove.

I like it. Haenel's are tough to find in decent condition. That stock looks like an early version of monkeypox, lol

Solid rifle Cyrus! It's clearly Suhl week in our little Consortium!

Lmao. I’ll call this Gew “Patient Zero.”

Thanks, Chris! Damn right, we’re going to get down tracking which consortium member made which components.
