    98k Vet Bring Back?

    I picked up this 98k today. Its a BNZ 44. No Import Mark, Pin Marks, or the typical X seen on captures. It is however missing cleaning rod and hood sight but not the locking screws. Serial numbers seem to be from 3 different guns matched to their respective group. Trigger Guard all match to one number as the bolt and bands match to a different number. The receiver,barrel, and sight all match to another number. The stock looks to be a RC but the number is not matching to anything. There is only one waffenamt on the sight base. Nor is there any other proofing but the mark besides the serial number. Seems to me that perhaps it was captured but escaped some of the process seen on a typical RC. What do y'all Think

    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.

    Looks like a parts gun to me. Lots of them around. Nothing wrong with it though.

    Usually the numbers stamped on the stock are usually Russianicon captures. Though I've heard other Eastern bloc countries did it with captures.

    Definitely, a parts gun and probably put together after WWII during one of the rebuilt programs in Eastern Europe. I have one just like it and it was used and abused. I replaced the barrel with one of the Norwegianicon K98icon 7.62mm NATO match barrels and cleaned it up a bit to look presentable in public.
