German pre war sporting rifles

feeds@yuku.com (Langston) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:44:29 GMT

There can be no doubt that the pre war craftsmanship of German sporting rifles was exceptional. But a lot of it was done by individual craftsman and it is hard to tell what was more or less mass produced for the time, and what was a single or scarce model. A case in point: I have a Zi-Di bolt action in the European version of the .22 Hornet. I need a magazine and scope rings for it. Is there any hope? I have had no luck finding much in the way of information about it. Does anyone know...

Model 1908 Mauser?

feeds@yuku.com (VentureRider) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:29:57 GMT

Did anyone else buy these recent offerings from Century? DWM made, Model 1908 Brazilian contract Mausers in 7x57mmMauser. During an unscientific survey, 4 out of 5 of them had shot out bores. The one in five that had a decent bore grouped very well at 100 yds. At age 67, my eyes are not what they used to be. I can still hold 2 1/2" groups with the M1908 that I received, that had a very shiny, sharp bore. This model has not been seen for a long time. In the early 1990s when they came in,...

Gew98 WWII upgrade?

feeds@yuku.com (Vulcan) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 18:10:03 GMT

Picked up a GEW98 this past week. Its missing the upper hand guard. The rifle has a K98 type rear site marked s/42. The stock has the bolt disassm. metal. Its a DWM Berlin 1917. Will a upper handguard from a gew98 or turk mauser work? Or is it special to this change?

Can anyone tell me where the rifle was made and which year from this information?...

M98 Rifle & Carbine book

feeds@yuku.com (VIS35) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:55:30 GMT

Added another reference volume to my library. Spent most of yesterday afternoon and today trying to absorb what's in there. This book is outstanding, weighs six pounds and 464 pages with fantastic illustrations. If this book does not answer questions about the G98 rifle, I do not know what will. If one is serious about or just curious about Mauser rifles, this book is a must.

Bayonet Lug help.

feeds@yuku.com (45luger) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:55:57 GMT

I'm trying to restore my K98 (37 s/42) as close as I can to origanal condition. anyways I bought a bayonet lug with the H Band grooves but I found my 42 fnj bayonet won't fit on it (the bayonet fits on my other late war lug)? The lug has one proof and the last numbers of the SN on the front. the proof make is a stick eagle with a "1" under it. I was told this was a early war k98k lug. my questions are, is this a German WWII Lug and are the bayonets fitted so certain rifle...

Take Down Disk

feeds@yuku.com (45luger) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 07:44:12 GMT

Sorry for the silly question but what are the take down disk really for? It looks like it's pretty much not coming out of the stock with out a fight and I can't see it being very useful for anything if you did get it out?

K98 Restore help.

feeds@yuku.com (45luger) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 02:25:35 GMT

I found a sporterised 1937 K98 that was in pretty good shape, 95% blue, bright bore, the barrel & receiver numbers matched and the bolt had all matching numbers. Both had Weimar eagles and waffen ampts so I guess the bolt was in the 36-38 date range.I figured it would be a good shooter and it matched one of my S/42 Lugers so I talked the guy down to $75 and bought it. I got home and striped it down to check everything out and found it didn't have ANY import marks or Russian...

Please help to identify...

MG334 question

feeds@yuku.com (howeldavis) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:38:32 GMT

I ran across a complete parts kit at a coin shop. I bought it because the dealer did not know what the value was and I could double my money. It sold to a guy in california. As far as I know it is legal to ship gun parts not including receivers to any state. Is this true?

71/84 Mauser bolt removal problem

feeds@yuku.com (pastmaster1610) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:39:29 GMT

First time disassembling a 71/84. Can't seem to get the selector lever to push forward so I can remove the bolt. Don't want to force it and perhaps break it if the part is rusty underneath. Any suggestions?

Mein dou 43

feeds@yuku.com (Sgt Schlitz) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:03:27 GMT

Howdy folks! Here are a few pics of my dou 43 K98. It's in really good shape and has matching numbers and the Waffenamt stamps are still intact. I may have paid a little too much for it, but I wanted a good example of a fine battle rifle that was as close to original as possible.

Help me ID this mauser

feeds@yuku.com (MDCmotorsports) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:20:59 GMT

Picked up a mauser.
It doesn't have any proof stamps on it that I can see, with exception of the picture I attached.
There isn't a crest on the receiver.
The picture I attached is found on the trigger guard, and two spots under the receiver.
Any help boys and girls?

I have forgot -- What does A.G. stand for again?

Such as in WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A-G.OBERNDORF A.N. I understand all of it but can't seem to pull out from the foggy mess what the A.G. stands for.
