I'll bet cast 180's @ 2100-2300 fps would tame that recoil ! What a great "tight timber" carbine. I want one !! :thup::D

I agree with Calif-Steve in that it is a "Gew 98" not a Kar 98; but looks like a typical European (German) style hunting rifle, as stated previously. It's a nice one and I would leave as is. :thup:

I'm probably wrong, but I think I read somewhere the Spanish 1895/1916 pattern 2 has the solid sidewall and oval port w/square bottom bolt.
Those do look like Spanish proofs

this one looks like a fun restore project, hopefully more pics to follow;)

Can't go wrong at that price !! If you don't reload, Privi Partizan ammo can be found for just under $20 bucks a box in 150 grn SSP, 174 grn FMJ and 180 grn SSP (save the brass).
Reloading can show...

Very nice specimen ! Congratulations ! Nice, pre-laminate walnut stock. :thup:

Looks "Great" to me !! as long as your happy, :D that's all that matters :thup:
now go shoot that thing !! and show us a range report !

I too, am and Argentine fan and a 7.65x53 fan. although my only experience is with 1909's.
Great shooters and very robust in every way, the Argy's always have great detail in my experience and are...

That is a good looking rifle! Congratulations !! Not having any personal experience the round, I am looking for a "sporter" like that, in a "get's it done" no nonsence, older caliber.
I am already...

Try kbtacticalstar.com for a repro k98 sniper type mount, comes with scope bushings,
I think it might work for your application, although a bit pricey. You will need to drill & tap a bit.
Good...

I built a Cavalry Carbine off a 1908 DWM Brazilian action with an Argentine 1909 Carbine barrel & stock, and I'm getting 1" groups @ 50 yds with iron sights. I'm very happy with it.
A 1908 Brazilian...

I agree with what "mtoms" said and will add the,

1909 Argentine and the,

1912 Steyr Brazilian long rifles.

The 1909 will be in 7.65x53 , which is pretty much a reloading proposition,...

although the Spanish 93 (1916) is a handy little rifle (I have 2), I would agree with what others have said and go with the 24/47 (2 also) or a Spanish 43. They are more robust and will handle just...

Those are some great looking specimens you got there !! Love the handiness of the 38, although I've never shot one.
Seems to be the perfect carry/brush gun, for those tight timbers with the...

I think it looks a hundred times better :thup: Well done Sir! You received great advice, followed it, and it shows !! :thup:

The prices you listed seem about right to me. Most mix-masters go for $300-$400 around here, with really nice specimens going $400 + depending on wood, blue etc... the highest I've seen is $550 and...

Well it sure looks awesome !! If authentic ? I'd say you got a Great Deal !! Still a beautiful gun regardless. Good Luck !

Hey Ray, thanks for the response, using IMR 4227 and IMR 4198, loads are right out of Lyman's Cast Bullet handbook. I have 40 rounds in RP (Remington-Peters) brass and 20 in PPU (Privi) all the...

Taking out the duv-41 and the M24/47 tomorrow for some cast bullet testing, I have some 180 grn RFN w/gas check loaded up, sized .324" ,
first time with either one shooting cast-boolits, should be...

Calif-Steve your comment makes perfect sense; however I just saw a reference on the hoosiergunworks site; that states the Kar98 is a small ring, long action with large ring threads ?? So I'm still...

It's been several months since my last post, been busy payin the mortgage and feedin the teenager. :lol: But I found some Hornady .312" SST 150 grn's and some Accurate 2495 which has proved to be the...

Does a Kar-98 small ring, long action reciever, have large ring threads ?? I have heard of the Turk; large ring, long action, small ring threads. But was confused when someone mentioned small ring,...

Great rifle ! you did good ! :thup: You do realize a range report is required ? Get out there and shoot it !! :D

Beautiful rifle, Congratulations !! Should be a sweet shooter :thup:

Wow ! what a Great find ! Congrats on your acquisition !:thup:
