Spare Parts...

[amadeus76]

So I've reached a point where I have pretty much all the rifles I want in 2's... One to collect and one to actually shoot. That said, I know at some point parts will wear out and need to be replaced. Can anyone give me a list of spare parts I should pick up and keep in reserve for a K98? On a related question, I know Criterion makes barrels for the Lee Enfield and the 1903a3, does anyone make replacement barrels for the K98?

If only I lived in Australia... At least I know now that someone does make K98 barrels. Thanks for that.

Lothar Walther makes Kar98 and Gew98 barrels. A little spendy buy well made and well regarded. They do have a USA distributor, as well. Let me add this, they do come in 8mm and 30-06.
