dou 44 marked Mauser rifle

[jiipee76]

I today bought this one to my collection.It is dou44 marked Mauser.But there is differences to other mausers i have,stock is different,stock front band is different.Metal parts are not machined as good as early ones i have.Is this one typical late war Mauser,as i have others but they are early examples.

Hello,
In my opinion it is a refurbished Kar98K with new blueing (black paint?) and a stock that doesn't correspond to a genuine Kar98K, maybe a czech one.
Nice shooter

Hello JiiPee,

Did you bought this from Ellivuori Gun Show?

I think too that the stock aren't original...

I bought this from huutonetti.I have one heavily worn original stock waiting,this one goes as a gift for my brother.I have searched my gunbooks and only 98 variant i have found with same looking stock is VZ24.But even that one have differences.
