    Unhappy Bad Luck

    Today i was at my Gunsmith´s Shop looking for some old Scopes and have seen an nice K98kicon. Mauser/Oberndorf codes, WaA655, made at the end of 1937, all numbers are matching except the Stock. It seems to be a Arsenal remake of the Wehrmacht the Eagle marks are on it. No RC mark. The Bore is good. And now the best of it, the price $335 !!! And the bad is that i have the next allowance in September....

    Happy Easter Days to all!

    Regards

    Gunner

    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.

    Maybe ask for an advance on your allowance ...

    It never works for me, but maybe you'll have better luck ...

    Gunner, if you are known to the dealer as a responsible person, why not try offering him a deposit to hold it for you?

    Hi Patrick,

    this were the second one to hold for me. He holds just a nice rifle for me and one is enough. I have to think about of an new safe.

    Regards and Happy Easter

    Gunner,

    that rifle is a steal. Maybe you should have a bake sale? make a bunch of pies and cakes and sell them. Or maybe the 'smith will take pie instead of Euros?

    good luck!

    Hi jon,

    that is an great idea!!! He likes cakes and i can bake. So i make as much cakes until he will say "Take the rifle, but please no more cakes!"

    Happy Easter to you

    Hallo gunner!
    Frohe Ostern!
    Es tut mir leid, aber mit pm kann ich keine Fotos empfangen. Ich habe eine K98icon, Stempel ar 42, RC (...tut mir leid! ). In der Innenseite des Handguard ( Schaft?) habe ich eine Nummer/Code gefunden, der unterschiedlich zur Seriennummer des Gewehres ist.
    Fragen:
    1) welche Nummer/Code muss dort sein?
    2) Wenn es die Seriennummer sein sollte, heißt das, dass meine K98 aus dem Holz und dem Stahl von zwei verschiedenen Gewehren ist?
    Im Voraus vielen Dank für Deine Antwort (Hilfe).
    Tschüß !

    Blackcat
