Info wanted on K98 parts

[hillertactical]

Yes , Original stocks are getting scarce and expensive for alot of ww2 weapons. I have a sporter stock that fits the action but i think i'll try to get rid of the sporter stock and find a military stock set. To me the mauser action just looks wrong in anything but a mil, stock set. Thanx for the info. I have a copy of BOTW on order. Should be fun too read. I might try to find a stock and trigger housing with some 214 markings. Although the stock markings won't matter to much as this rifle will never be more than a mixmaster. which is ok with me. I just wish these 70+ year old parts could talk! What history this piece must have. I think it will be fun to search out this stuff. Plus a good learning lesson. The k98 parts came in a box of stuff an older guy (60ish) gave me when i bought a bunch of shotguns and 22's his wife was making him get rid of. She was afraid to have the guns his father had given him in her house. The father was supposedly in the army air corp at the end of ww2. Believe it or not the mauser action from 1941 was the newest item in the whole bunch. People can be so funny about guns. I suppose it takes all kinds.

They can. Not in specifics, but they can. It sounds like you have ears to hear. That is the fun part of the hobby,using your knowlege of history and letting your imagination do the rest.

Here is a nice looking stock that has started at a resonable price.

The stock looks good. I'll watch it and see how high it goes. I'll probably have too settle for putting my action in a captured stock to conserve limited funds. No sense putting a mixmaster action into an expensive stock.
