Hi, I have just obtained a WW1 G98 sniper rifle but have encountered a problem with the fore end.
The lower spring clip does not retain the fore end. The front clip works fine and retains the stock onto the front band and bayonet boss. This means that the fore end happily slides along the barrel.
The lower spring clip does not appear to fit into the band ( unlike that on the front fitting).
Everything appears to conform to the illustrations I have accessed but something is adrift if you'll excuse the pun.
Help and suggestions gratefully accepted.
