I have an original G43 mag that was cut down to 5 rounds after the war. I also have an MG13 mag that was supposed to fit perfectly into my G43, yeah right. Now, here's my question. Has anyone ever combined the two together, to make it fit tight? I'm thinking I can have a machinist friend of mine, cut the top of the mg13 mag off and welding the five round mag to it. Does this sound like a waste of two magazines or does this sound like a feasible idea? Comments? Suggestions?

Its a sporterised 1903 K98a and I intend of restoring it to its former glory.

So I'm after a stock and bands for it. the question is - is a k98az (polish) the same gun and therefore the same stock?

Any suggestions where I can obtain one?

Recently I had a chance to examine a k43 sniper rig that is for sale on the brocks guns website. The rifle is ac 45, with a March-april production date. The scope is bzz. Obviously the rifle and scope literally did not come together but all things considered, would such a combination be worthy of a very late war sniper representation assuming all parts match and are original? I assume that with such a late production that the rifle would still have had time to see use. The entire rig is 7500. I am looking to buy one of these rifles to complete my display, but i would like to have one that would be held in high esteem by folks who know these rifles.

Since I am new to this please bare with me.
My father gave me a K43 he brought back from the war.
It was made in 45' by BLM.
I sent it to Rob for the shooters kit and to be checked out. I have a nice ZF4 I sent to Don for cleaning. My Question;
I bought a repro mount on E-bay and got it to fit without too much trouble. When the bolt is brought back and locked there is not enough room to unlock because the mount is so close. (I can unlock with a small screwdriver).
Is this normal with an original mount??
When at the range the bolt has to be locked open and mag. removed in order to retrive the targets.
Also, the bolt clears the front clamp but not the rear.
If it's the mount who makes a correct 214 repro? Frankonia?
Thanks for your help.

I am having problems in crimping my 7.92x33 reloads on Hornady dies: I have followed the instructions and even watched a youtube video on the topic to understand where I was wrong, but everything seemed correct in my procedures. I went on measuring the cases (I am using PPU -Prvi Partisan- serbian cases and .323 125 grain specific bullets and both are within suggested C.I.P. dimentions, in particular mouth diameter (ext.) 8.84 mm, (int.) 8.22 mm, Neck diameter at shoulder 8.90 mm, Case length 33,00; PPU bullet 125 gr FMJ BT hollow base with cannelure (9 mm from base): Length 24.43, Diameter 8.23. Once seating the bullet (neck new diameter=8.75) , and readjusting the die for crimping, I had the shoulder marked by the seater-crimper sharp mouth and, insisting, the case crushed.
Trying to better understand if it was my error or some problem with the dies, I formed some case from FC 30-06 brass leaving them untrimmed (44 mm) and went thru the crimping routine without inserting a bullet, neck diameter went from 9.36 to 9.11 mm stopping at 30.24. After this I dismounted the seater and measured it's mouth with a caliber getting an interior diameter of 9.18 for a depth of 6.76 then reduced to 8.33, the transition being (I think) where the crimp would occur; unfortunatelly internal mesures are to be tacken with tweezers beause the caliper's beacks are not sharp enough. I have been asking Hornady for help, but they did not care to contact me back.
If someone is interested or has had the same problem, would be glad to learn from him (I have a document with pictures I will try to attach).

The numbers match and I'm not certain about the wood stock since it has been refinished. The stock has a partial number that is faint and I can only make out the middle 2 numbers, 0 and 6, which match the serial number. The cleaning rod looks original but I am not certain. It has 17 stamped on the head. Here are a couple of photos of the rifle and since it needs to be shot every-once-in-a-while here are the targets.

Had a very nice find this week from the family of a deceased WW2 US Air Corp. ordnance veteran. At the end of the war he had the opportunity to visit the Walther plant and brought home with him two #4000 serial range Walther VG1 rifles. He had told his son that there was a large pile of these rifles there and the officer in charge told everyone that was visiting the facility that day to feel free to take a rifle or two home with them because the rest were going to be burned. Both rifles are basically in unaltered condition with original Walther canvas slings still on them. One still even has its original sight hood on it. Both have the heavier style of barrel. They need a little TLC and cleaning but both are in un-touched condition. Just goes to show you what is still laying around out there.

I would like to introduce myself and tell you my story of my first German find! My name is Rich and I have been wanting a true 98k for many years now. I believe it to be one of the best bolt guns ever to be made...and we can see how all the others have followed its example. Anyways onwards..
I was lucky a few weeks ago. I have searched the local shops and found no 98k's. A few M48, m24/47's and 1 spanish mauser. I purchased a M24/47 a year ago and like it alot but I still seeked out a 98k.
Anyways i took a trip down to Moes hardware in Black River Falls Wi. I love that place..they not only have a wall full of guns..but it appears a basement full of them to. I asked for any C@R's they may have had on hand and initialy told they had nothing but a enfield and a few sks's. One chimed in that they may have another yugo 24/47 and a martini henry in the basement. I told him to go take a look.
Anyways he come back with two boxes..one contained the martini henry..old rifle but looked good. He then said he found one that had a 98 on it..I was skeptical at best...
BUt out I pulled a 98k...I was excited. After good look it turned out to be a 41 CE RC. The stock is a bit rough but has some good flavor..it even has a piece of shrapnel imbeded in it. The floorplate, bolt, stock, and I believe all other parts are mismatched for the rifle. Of course the barrel and receiver being the only matched pieces. The eagles are tiny..but I believe to be intact. A flat buttplate is marked but I cannot see what the mark is.
I am still investigating it..I have it torn down and all the metal is cleaned. I took denatured alcohol and 000 steel wool and gave the stock a light scrub. I then have begun my cosmo leeching but I think that will take a bit of time. After I get sick of it...I have BLO to be applied...1 time a day for a week..1 time a week for a month..once amonth for a year..then once a year. Good thory I learned from Parralax's board.
So anyways I shall be seeking a bit of info from you guys to help me investigate a bit more..Pics and ?'s forthcoming.
