@emtffzartman cheers for the offer, but im in a re-enacting group and we sell eachother all sorts of assesories. also this Russian captures barrel is early-war so there are no attachments slits on the front sight to attach a hood on (Shes a 1940 "337" Wilhelm Gustloff arms factory production)
@nick21sammy Copy that. Glad she is in good hands. What unit do you reenact? I do 600th SS Fallschirmjager, a very late war unit. Mine is a 41 and has the slits.. crazy how the little things are different in them. I have that damn capture mark too.. sucks.
@emtffzartman mine hasnt got a capture mark but the wood had been sanded down and finished in a horrible Russian Laquer (which is slowly flaking off :-/ ). also the previous owner had never taken her apart, a cosmoline nightmare O_O . I re-enact as the 3. Aufklaerungs Battalion, 21st Panzer Division, Deutsches Afrika Korp in New Zealand. do you have FB or an email? i'll send you some pics if you like
@nick21sammy That poor stock... ewwww. I had a SKS that needed cleaned like that too. The guy told me he cleaned it. I said about field stripping and he looked at me like I had two heads.. lol I will send you my info.
@emtffzartman Any tips with the SKS? my younger Brothers buying one (its his first gun). the Russians did a good job with the sanding, its just the laquer thats horrible (the samee as on Mosin Nagant M44s and 91/30s
@nick21sammy Nothing past what a normal gun needs. Make sure all parts look good and are in tact. Good barrel, the flat blade bayonets are my favorite (there are spikes too). They are fixed and fold out, some guns have these missing. The firing pin can be seen after taking the bolt out, so that can be checked. If that is good and the rest of the firearm seems good, then go for it. I know what you mean about the lacquer.. That can be fixed if it is not a numbers matching.
@nick21sammy Well I do not know how things are there, but at gun shows here I can buy all the wood for the stock. It would be a little work to swap it out but not anything major. But it is all up to the person who owns the gun.
@emtffzartman dont really have gun shows in NZ, we dont have the 2nd Admendant :D. K98ks are pretty hard to find here. i was lucky to get this rifle for under $1000 NZD so finding a stock on its own is tougher. the weapon most easily found in NZ is the SKS and Mosin Nagant 91/30
If you need links to getting a sling, cleaning rod and sight hood send me a private message.. Good video.
