Got this one recently as well and thought I'd post it. Matching except for the rear TG screw. A late 36 with transitional stock proofing. Never had a toe repair and never cut for a hood.

Lol damn. Without the door buster it’s utterly useless. Might as well take it back

Beautiful example of a early Kar 98k, looks as righteous as they come.

Interesting to note that I have a T block rifle with all Weimar proofs and I know of another T block that is the same.

Hilarious! Superb example of an early rifle. Amazing that these survived without repair, rework or post-war nonsense. Gotta be a pic stickie!

One of the reasons I love transitional pieces and think this should be a stickie. Nearly all Weimar proofs (rear sight and bottom metal appear 100%) yet Nazi eagles start to appear. Neat that the bands are split.

Really great example!

Thanks guys. These early ones really remind you the quality that went into these....MO really made some beautiful stuff. Now if only I could morph them into a steyr
