    For some strange reason I recognise the pistol here.....

    Nice one Dave! (Although Caroline wont thank you for the memories of what broke her toe (An M1911A1 falling from the top of a wardrobe hurts, trust her!))

    Good to see that you've stripped it and managed to do so without loosing the mainspring!

    :), I can almost strip it down and re assemble it blind folded now, (its taken alot of practise but im getting there lol)

    just as a side note the other guns do not belong to me (unfortunately) the G98 is a deact from the rifle club i go to and i am currently restoring it(it hasnt been cleaned for about 10 years and is situated over a fireplace so its colloected aload of crap on it), The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.2 also belongs to the club.

    Its a G98 (1900 dated) so it is the full size Mauser rifle not the carbine variants

    the easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the bolt handle, length and rear sight. the G98 has a straight handle and the arched type of rear sight, the K98 is obviously shorter and has a turned down bolt handle but keeps the orginal rear sight. the K98K has a turned down bolt handle and a different rear sight to its ancestors also the postitioning of the rear sling swivel is different the G98 and K98(well i belive so) have swivels underneath the stock whilst the K98Ks stock has the swivel intergrated into it.
