great old gun!! i've got one that my grandpa brought home from world war 2. he really liked the size and weight of it compared to the 98's. its dated DOT 1941, my grandpa and dad used it as a main hunting rifle up until 5 or 6 years ago, now i just pull it out once and awhile to take a few shots and shine it up again. 71 years old and still shoots a nice group!
Nice video, I recently got one for $250, a real steal. Thing is, its missing the top guard. Do you know if any other rifles share the same guard? Or where I could find an original?
The k98s could also have those type of bands they were called speedmilled and were used from 1942 to 1944. They replaced these bands with stamped bands.
@TheBobafett13 Which bands are you talking about, the barrel bands? Because yes in that case they went from milled to stamped parts towards the end of the war, those model rifles are referred to as Kriegsmodelle's.
I concur with Ted. I have not seen one of these rifles either until now. I wasn't aware they existed. Congrats on your purchase, that is a nice looking rifle. Looking forward to see how it compares to the K98 in terms of accuracy. I imagine it will be a good shooter. Hard to find a German gun that isn't!
While I haven't shot it as of yet, I would imagine so, the K98 has enough on it's own, I would imagine it's as powerful as the recoil on the No 5 Jungle Carbine.

@webeautos Thank you for the offer, but I'm having 25,000 worth of dental work done, so I have to curtail my gun buying for a while.

That's one nice looking rifle! Wonder if it's as accurate as the K98 or the No. 5 Jungle Carbine?

Excellent review. Very interesting. I have never seen one before. Thanks for posting. Is the recoil more fierce on that one than the K98?

Did you ever get in contact with Krausewerk?
