Interestingly the weapon is a generational mishmash also. The stock of the weapon in question is from a gew98, note the differences in the picture of the 98K above. Flat buttplate rather than cupped, and not cut for a side mounted sling. Also marked, at one time, EWB. Einwohnerwehr Bayern. The militia/gang from the 1920 troubles in Bavaria.

Me too buddy. I've learned more than I expected already.

Don you have a bloom of rust on the left side of the chamber above the wood just behind the sight and under the dirty bird. Take care of that, will you.

If it was an all matching rifle it would well be worth the expense of finding an original stock hand guard and metal bits. In the condition it's in that would be up to you. The butt plate is there so that's a start. To me what is most important is how it shoots.

I'm not sure how it shoots. My brother shot it a few times before he died. I remember him telling me that it's got a good bit of recoil.

I'll find out how to remedy the rust. I keep it wrapped up and put away. That's the first time its seen light in years.
