K98k differences?

[GeeRam]

I’ve toyed with the idea of trying to correct RC rifles to their original German state. However, I can’t bring myself to do it. The reality is that Russia defeated Germany, captured these rifles, and rebuilt them. To me, that’s part of the history. Yes, it’s the wrong bolt for what the rifle was originally when it belonged to the Nazis. However, it’s totally original and correct to how it left the Russian factory after they captured it. I’ll keep my Russian captured K98’s as Russian captured examples, and find separate original and uncaptured Nazi examples to satisfy that itch. I’m still learning and interested to know where all these parts came from originally though. I appreciate everyone‘s knowledge and help with that

Refreshing to hear that.
I have a particular interest in Norwegian capture K98k's which have several decades of use and changes post WW2 and its all part of their continuous history as well.

Being pedantic I know. Russia was only one of the countries that defeated Germany.

Not according to many Russians.....

Appreciate the approach! I have never changed a single detail on one of my milsurps.

Dang, now I want a Russian capture. Not sure how I am going to explain to my wife how a really ugly mismatched rifle is worth hundreds of dollars.....
