Enjoy BBotW it is a good entry level K98k book, But take it's contents with a grain of salt! There is lots of good info in the book, BUT it is also riddled with errors, omissions and misinformation!
He also shows what is accepted as being reworks/fakes for some of his references.
His primary source for a lot of the rifles he shows was from one guy, who had lots of screwed with rifles. Same goes for his sniper book.

Congrats on the rifle, looking good! Where did you come up with the stock? Been looking for a 214 proofed stock for my 1939 Berlin Lubecker, managed to find an all numbers matching rifle in a sporter stock. Just have to replace the rear sight base (whoever sporterized it ground off the upper hangaurd tab) and find the correct 214 stock. Even the capture screws on the rifle are the correct 214 marked early screws. Now import marks so I am asssuming vet bring back, can't wait to start putting her back together. :)

A tip here: do not waste money on cheapo ammo that will produce a disappointing result. So get at least one pack of good ammo for a fair trial of the rifle. And since military rifles in general tend to have generous chambers, by comparison with modern CIP or SAAMI standards, they often perform better with longish round-nose hunting bullets than the HPBT bullets favored for target shooting.
Good luck, and let us know how it performs!
I found the stock on ebay. I'm sure i paid a little too much for it. It's a little too early for my rifle but would be right for yours. If you find a later 214 with a cupped butt plate let me know. Maybe we could swap.Quote:
