Dear all this is my first post and am hoping someone can help me. My boys are getting into collecting WWII rifles and I bought their first 98K rifle, one marked BCD 1943. I know it was made by Gustloff but have a question. The rifle appears to be a RC and has a laminated stock with a flat buttplate. Is this proper for this year...or should it have a laminated stock with cupped buttplate? It also has a straight handled bolt which I don't think is right...did 98K's have straight handle bolts? Any help someone can give with my questions would be very much appreciated! R/Taylor

I don't have any pictures yet. I just finished paying for it on layaway ($390, hope that was a fair price) and need to go pick it up at the gun shop. I can post some later but I'm thinking what the other reply said...that it needs a cupped laminated buttstock and bent bolt. I'll definitely post some once we have it in hand and taken apart. I would guess if I do need to change stocks, the earlier flat butt plate one might be useful to someone. Thank you for your replies! Taylor
