SSZZA4 marking on RC k98
Hello,
Thanks for having me on the forum. I just purchased my first k98k rifle and I am very excited for it. I got it for a reasonable RC k98 price I think. However it does have SSZZA4 stamped on the barrel. It is a S/42 1938 receiver code but the barrel is a replacement probably during the war? the reason I say this is that it has a groove for the front sight hood. the receiver and barrel number match as well, however the font on the barrel serial number is a little different then the receiver. I am just curious what you guys think of the SSZZA4 stamp.
Thanks for any helpful info.
