A few pictures of the new (to me) Kar 88

 

[Sr4440]

Going to try a few more...The site said these were too large...try again

Sorry, all a no-go, too large

 

[Sr4440]

All is matching with exception of the front sight blade and possibly the guard screws

Looks great! How are you uploading the photos? On phones there’s an option to load them at different sizes.

 

[Sr4440]

This is with aa old camera...not smart enough to work one of those phones

From a PC, the easiest way to resize is to open the file with Paint.

How to Resize an Image in Microsoft Paint (with Pictures)

This wikiHow teaches you how to enlarge, shrink, or crop an image in Microsoft Paint. The first two maintain the native aspect ratio while the latter removes the outer area from the image. Make a copy of the image you want to resize. Go to...

This is a really nice looking example. I love the Bavarian unit mark! Is it alright if I add it to the reference thread?

 

[Sr4440]

Way above my pay grade...computer challenged..feel lucky to get the others posted

 

[Sr4440]

Sure

I agree with PM, well worth posting pictures, hassles or not, but what you show is righteous... I suspect all is right with this carbine.

 

[Sr4440]

Pretty darn nice carbine. I'll try later with more pictures

 

[Sr4440]

Try this.
Ha! old dog...new trick

 

[PrayingMantis]

Thanks for taking the time to get additional photos up. Double Bavarian unit marked, that is cool as hell. It's in the reference!

 

[Sr4440]

Where do I go to find the reference?

It is stickied at the top of this section, but here's the link: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/imperial-picture-reference-index-rifles-and-accessories.9901/

Are the guard screws correct on this carbine?

 

[PrayingMantis]

Are the guard screws correct on this carbine?

With the smaller locking screws? Yes, though i believe this was a update done later, i'd have to check Storz's book to say for sure.

After looking again, since they lack the serial numbers they may be replacements, but they are correct.

and finally a few of overall condition

Can you do a closer shot of the markings on the stock by the sling cutout?
