Nice one Shaunman! For me, i would pick up a extra stock to make it looking like original and keep the "Original" stock for the reasons of remembrance to your father.

I'd say you did very good and also got a cool story out of it.

What type of K98 is it (manufacturer code) and is the stock laminated or walnut? Does the stock have matching numbers?

Hi as far as i know it is a byf 43 waffenampt 835 on the top of the reciever, the stock is walnut as far as I know the stock is matching, the only thing that was changed is the rear sight assembly the seller informed me his dad had it changed for a aftermarket rocky mountain open sight installed in the 50's he is looking for the sight for me but it looks like it is gone So i need a rear sight assembly,cleaning rod and front hood.

Buy the gun not the story. Personally I don't believe it.If that were my dad that brought the rifle back and it had been in the family all these years I surely would'nt sell it for a measily $350. In fact, Bill Gates would'nt have enough money to buy it. BTW, a byf 43 should have waffenampt 135, a laminated stock and IIRC a cupped butt plate.

They made them at Mauser Oberndorf with walnut too in 1943. They weren't all laminated. It should have a cupped buttplate.

I would say a old hunting rifle sling not a military one. The style seems to be from AKAH!
