Oldmankiller said he liked 'em, and i had these already uploaded to Photobucket.
...and since this is my first "new" post, it's clearly a "runup"... : O

Blue bolt and an Eagle proof mark on the floorplate?
Did that rifle see service after 1935?

NIce rifle. The handguard is Polish. You can tell by the reinforcing dowels. Thanks for sharing Usrifle!

Bolt...

It's a Nazi rework of an original rifle with a mismatched stock. (at least that's what i'm told, i'm no expert by any means...)
You actually have seen it before Chasdev, maybe 4-5 months ago.
There was a fairly long thread concerning it, i believe Hambone said that's what it was. (Nazi reworked with original parts).
I just thought it was a pretty cool rifle, and i was able to trade for it with a buddy.

Very cool rifle, those birds are quite an addition.
Now, if I can just figure out how to add some to MINE.....

Thanks gents!

I didn't know that was a Polish H/G...Thanks! It's a Very interesting old Mauser.
She's probably been around the "block" more than once, what a story she could tell.

Nice rifle, thanks for posting it. I don't know what it is about the Kar98a's I like so much. Maybe it's just that was the first military rifle I started my collection with. Sort of like your first car.
