Hi,

Just got my first k98. Its just a barreled receiver with bolt(see pics) I would like to know what the different markings mean. The receiver is marked duv 41. I think that means it was made in 1941 manufactured by Berlin-Lubecker. Bolt #'s don't match receiver#'s so i am guessing the rifle went thru some sort of rebuild at some point?? The stamp 42R302 seems of a different font than everything else. Antone know if the 42R302 is of any importance or maybye a refurbish/rearsenal stamp. Got ahold of headspace guages and the go is tight but the bolt will close on it. The bolt won't come close to closing on the nogo. Shot a few rounds thru it and it funtions well. I would be interested to learn the history of this weapon. Like what the different markings mean, What units carried this weapon, ect... The parts seems like a neat piece of history and i would like to learn more about them. Any help would be great.

HILLER.......................
