Here are a few of my DOU 43 K98. It has all matching numbers and all the Waffenamt stamps are intact. It was made in '43 and it's in very good shape. It also has a sight hood which I don't see very often.
Very nice, Sgt....we're getting together some nice K98s on this Forum ! To research your weapon further, you may find the guys at the Curio and Relic Forum can help... German Rifles - C&R Rifles - The Curio and Relic Firearms Forum - Message Board - Yuku
Its nice to see them in original condition instead of customized or "bubba'd" up. Very nice, congrats.
Thanks for the input fellas. Jerome, I took it to the range last week and it shot really well. I only ran 30 rounds through it and they all hit the paper plate target I used for a target. I was using the 100 yd. range. Next time, I'll use the 22 yd. range. It has a smooth action when cycling the bolt as well. Martin, Thanks for the link!
