It may just be me, but the bolt serial number doesn't look right. Those stock cartouches seem kinda funny as well... The rear barrel band (E/1 marked) is from a Güstloff (bcd) K98. I hope I'm wrong about the serial numbers and cartouches, but I don't feel very comfortable about them.

Indeed , bolt renumbered.

[D Funk]

Hi, I would agree as well, the 9 on the bolt clearly is a different font than the numbers on the receiver and barrel. The top of the bolt looks as if it may have been ground and redone.

[Mike Steves]

Fairly good price, but more than just a renumbered bolt- everything is renumbered on it to match the barreled receiver- bands, stock, triggerguard/floorplate, waffenamts on the stock are not original. Sling is one of the chinese repros as well. Still, you got a decent rifle for the price.

Too bad it's too late to get your money back !. Metal & wood have been refinished, as noted stock has been 'glorified' post war , bolt, bolt parts , and bands are hideously renumbered. And yes the sling is a modern made repro. For $375 I personally would not touch such a rifle. If it were unsadned and an honest mismatch that would be different , but when it's been given the waffenfabrik USA treatment by some fraud..... it would make a nice deer rifle is about all. I'd have some concerns wiht the safety of the bolt - the safety of the metal as it looks like the bolt flat was welded up bad before the fraud popped the new numbers on.

Hi,
I must admit the only wrong number I had spotted was on the front large floorplate screw.
If it helps, here are the stock markings from an untouched all-matching byf41 K98k.
Good hunting,
Grossfuss

Thanks gentleman for all the input. I had a good idea the sling was a reprduction and your points about the Sn's,stock markings could very well be the case here. Thanks again David

Pitty, but still a nice shooter...
