I picked up a YC K98 at a pawn shop for $125.00 I bought as a shooter. It has a good bore and has some unscrubed birds but is a mixmaster. I've counted 5 different WaA numbers so far. I think the the reciever is a 1938 S/423, I can just make out the S and the 23.The 38 is still pretty clear. I am sure it was rebarreled. The action is very smooth with a nice trigger.
My question is about the stock. It is a normal looking red glue laminate with cupped butt plate and bolt disassembly disks but it has two cross bolts. One in the normal postion and one (pic) at the trigger guard area. I have seen this type of stock on a couple of Russian captures too. It has a 5 digit serial number stamped inside the barrel channel and takes a 12.5" cleaning rod. Does anyone know whats up with the extra cross bolt? Thanks
