Help ID'ing my RC K98

[kar98k]

i know i just refinished this stock, but then stumbled across this one which makes my kriegsmodell more historically accurate, and it was a good deal, so i went ahead and picked it up.

looks like i'll have a back-up stock. someone slap me before i break the bank on this project, haha.



this one has the shellac gunk on it too, so i'll get some more practice on my refinishing skills.

it's closer, but it's not a kriegsmodell stock. but you're right, it is more appropriate looking

i did some research and the dou.45 had a "semi-kriegsmodell" stock. the factory mine is from never went to the full kriegsmodell version that didn't have the bolt takedown and stuff.

right. here's what it would look like:

haha i was just getting ready to say that and post the same pic. great minds think alike. at least i got closer with that stock in appearance.

more important than how it looks is how it shoots. you'll have to give us the info when you fire it.

i'll give a full range report in a couple of days.

i was looking around on gunbroker and saw a mismatched "original kriegsmodell k98" that was going for $1299.99 starting bid... if that's the case is the guy who's selling it out of his mind?

what is my mismatch realistically worth?

i saw that rifle, the bnz 45. that's not the correct stock and he's very high on that price. especially if it's mismatched. his bnz 44 kriegsmodell is a nice one (maybe still a bit high on the price). his SWP45 is also overpriced

for a Russian Capture very late war rifle, $300-$400 is a good price so you paid a nice price

i thought so, haha. thanks for all the information you guys are giving me. this has been a fun project so far.

my feeling is, what's the point in knowing stuff if you can't teach others?

Ain't nothing fancy about removing shellac. Hang the stock over a bucket, get a soft scrub brush and plenty of rags. Dump out some denatured alcohol and get after it. The da will soften and literally just wash off the shellac. The rapid evaporating da will not saturate the stock.
Simple is best simply done.
