    Question Kornbush mod98

    Any of you mauser fellas know anything about a model 98 with KORNBUSH stamped on the top of the receiver? i saw this sportorized '98 in for a trigger job at a local gunsmith shop, whoever sportorized it did a really nice job and chambered it in 25-06, looks like the work was done quite awhile ago by a skilled smith. i cannot find anything on KORNBUSH for mauser '98's. thanks for any info you can provide.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Waffenwerke Oberspree Kornbusch. A somewhat rare WWI Mauser manufacturer. They were owned by Mauser or DWM, don't recall specifics. Closed after WWI and not re-opened during WWII. Re-barreling a WWI 98 into .25-'06 not the brightest idea. The WWI receivers were not the hardest of Mausers and the late 1918 Mausers are nothing like the early 1914 versions.
