Recently got this Gewehr 98 that came with what looks like the rear end of a Kar98a stock (it has a hole for the lower band screw) and the front end of a Gew98 stock. The stock is in two pieces with "Verdun" carved in the butt and the inside looks like it was inlet with a pocket knife.




The metal was neglected and had patches of gold inletting paste, but it matches except for the bolt and follower. Bolt self-matches except the firing pin, and the follower matches the bolt.






I don't have a Gewehr 98 stock but I had a Brazilianicon M1908 stock and walnut K98kicon handguard that I'm using for now. If anyone has a spare Gew98 stock and handguard I am interested in buying them. At least the rifle is now usable.






The bore cleaned up nicely and the headspace is OK.
