G98/40 New addition...

[3371940]

As stated above 44’s are the hardest followed by 42’s. 43’s and 41’s are pretty common. There two variations of 42 and you have the later one with the WaA173 acceptance on top of the receiver. The earlier 42’s had WaA56 acceptance on the right side of the receiver. Based on the photo provided I have a little doubt on the bolt. Not saying it is bad, I just want to see that better pic! All else I can see is textbook.

Thanks for the great info and replies! Here's much better photo of the bolt, actually shot inside in darker conditions, which oddly brought out the detail...

Thats a cool looking rifle. I believe my great grandpa brought one of these home, but its long gone (he got rid of it right after he got home from the war)

Bolt is fine. Nice pickup for sure.
