I am looking into purchasing a Hungarian G98/40 and I don't know much about the rifles. The rifle that I am looking at is a jhv 42. It appears to be all matching (bolt, stock, bands, receiver, etc.).
The barrel has an identicle firing proof as the receiver, but I was surprised to see that it was not serial numbered. I have looked at many pictures of these rifles, and it seems that some have the barrel numbered, and some don't. Another unusual feature is that this rifle's stock is configured for both the Nazi-style sling, as well as the Hungarian sling (which can be found on a 43m).
Could this be a late 1942 manufactured prototype between a G98/40 and the 43M? What is the going price for a G98/40 with these features.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
