I use Imgur. Haven't had a problem with them yet and they survived the big photo loss we had a couple of years ago. You upload them and then copy and paste the img link.

ive never seen that receiver stamp before , a little history on it to school me ?

These were made in Hungary . this is the information I have found :
These German contract guns were made by Fémáru Fegyver és Gépgyár, Budapest, which company possibly subcontracted some or all of the work to Danuvia Gépgyár, Budapest 1941-44
There is a disagreement, where these guns were actually made. Most US collectors claim these were made only by Fémáru, based on that the receivers are stamped 'jhv', the German Ordnance code for Fémáru. Danuvia made G98/40 should have been marked with 'jua', Danuvia's German Ordnance code, and no such G98/40 have been reported. This appears to be a very strong case, however the Hungarian Ministry of Defense archives from the 1960's refer to the G98/40 as Danuvia made. According to several European collectors, the G98/40's were made by both factories, with Fémáru using Danuvia as a subcontractor. Other Europeans claim, these were made by Danuvia only. Quite a few references can be found in Europe calling the rifle 'Danuvia G98/40'. Hungarian sources are split on this issue. The 'subcontracting' explanation receives more support by knowing that in the 1950's Fémáru/FÉG subcontracted the manufacture of the machined AK-55 receivers to Danuvia, because 'Danuvia had better manufacturing facilities'.
