G'day, I bought this barrel recently at a gun show. The seller didn't know much about it except it's German, 8mm and allegedly fits the K98 action. I really don't know a lot about the various waffenampt stamps as they relate to inspectors and manufacturers. The finish is well blued with some pitting where the wood work was. Bore is very good with crisp rifling. The serial number is C11171 and is also marked on the rear sight, barrel and front sight. Could anyone help with deciphering the codes and advising me as to who made this one? I can't read the waffenampt number clearly, even with a magnifying glass. The joys of age I guess. I'd like to fit it to K98 action to use in military service rifle competitions and use up some of the 8mm surplus ammo I have. I thought it may have been a Portuguese contract barrel? Any answers are welcome.
Many thanks
