How difficult is it to get a KAR 98 Stock?

**Aragorn243** · 05-20-2016 05:56 PM

I've been watching a KAR 98 for about six months now. It's none matching but other than being re-blued, appears to be unmolested. Original sights, even has the locking screws. Stock has been sporterized which is the big problem.

Since it's been there so long, I'm hoping I can get one of my deals on it but it's all kind of pointless if I can't get a stock for it along with required metal.

I believe it is a1918 Danzig rifle, marked KAR 98 on the receiver. Stock has the cutout for the sling that has been filled so not sure if that is even original to it. I have found no Nazi proofs anywhere, just imperial stamps.

I will probably do some research on the correct stock for it over the weekend. Quick search on the web found no current active sales.

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.

Probably a bit of a unicorn but with your luck you will find two for one at a garage sale.

Once again I suggest a WTB here...the way things seem to go, RCS has one in his pocket.

A WTB would require a certain amount of coordination unless I simply break down and buy the thing. I guess the next question is would $250 be a good price on a KAR 98 that needs a new stock and barrel/stock accessories?

I hate to tell you this but this will not work. He needs a Kar98a stock from WWI. You have a Kar98k icon

stock from WWII. This will not work, sorry. The WWI wood is VERY tough to find these days.
