Make sure the action screws are tight

I don’t have the skills to do this either, but I have two retired elderly enthusiast friends who do. Payment for the work is a nice steak dinner at a local restaurant, and a couple hours of gun talk.

It can be done - restoring small ring Serbian 1899c with used m1924 large ring barrel....

No doubt to a Belgium Mauser collector, given the condition of yours, it might bring over $700. Problem is it is a pretty small market.

In general I think you will find most RCs serviceable-I believe the Russians discarded those on poor condition.

The Belgium army had adopted a Mauser 1935 design prior to WW2, but still had 10's of thousands of obsolete m1889 long rifles. So an effort was made, primarily by the Belgium state arsenal, to...

Yes that is actually my front yard - 300 meter range - nearest neighbor over 2 kilometers distance.

I restored a sporterized m1935 last year with a Numrich stock, front sight guard, and lower band. It was decent....

Until I can run across a Persian in my price range my vz98/22 will have to do...

It sounds like a Yugoslav refurb of a German k98k. Collectors sometimes refer to it as a 98/48. If there are some waffenants still visible on the right receiver ring, an ID of the manufacturer of...

If that is your 200 meter target that is fine shooting

I also use these in my 96 and 96/38 pushed by 36 gr of varget. Did a little informal shooting Independence Day on my place with the 96.

100 yds

I own 48 vintage military rifles at present and shoot them all. The only one I've managed a "100" score at 100 yds is my Remington 1917 with a JA barrel.

Sweet shooting rifle and just fits me...

Me thinks you mean 7.65 Argentine and 7mm Brazilian.[emoji6]

Left to right- m48, vz98/22, vz24

I certainly respect and appreciate your opinion Fred, as I do the collectors who counseled leaving it as is.

The finish certainly is not from the rifles military history, but it is part of it's...

Had an opportunity today to shoot the local vintage benchrest match-10 rounds at 100 meters and 10 at 200.

Shot my old standby first - my SwissIG1911 - 189 5x - not bad but I've certainly done...

This book has a good section on standard models.
Karabiner 98k Volume 1

What I posted, and you quoted, are the two best ways I know.

Might have an mp8 stock cartouche. Most of these SCW were imported by interarms and will usually have an 8mm stamp on the barrel somewhere.

It is a standard k98k receiver

Yes it is. Decided not to refinish it after getting considerable advice to maintain it's history.

I found the rough bore bore shoots amazingly well with .311 Sierra 180 gr pro hunters....

It is a post war assembled k98k by Czech Brno factory. Left over Nazi parts may have been used. These were sold to many countries post WW2 including Israel. These usually have a "winter" trigger...

As I prepared to use my Krag for the first time in the local CMP match, I hunted for a way to reload fast for the prone rapid fire stage. Talked with a gentleman on the Krag Collectors forum who...
