    Jsko nice Slowbra. My best friend has one putting down just under 500whp with a pulley and tune. He dd's it with Mickey Thompson Et streets.

     

     

     

    Cough swag swag swag cough

     

    Thanks, but you mixed up Slowbra for Terminator ;) lol . They Toyo's have been great with getting the power to the ground no complaints. I am guessing that's the Redfire one in your photos?

     

    I never did the pulley swaps or anything. just went right from 100% stock to the Kenne Bell w/ supporting mods. I want to get the new JLT CAI with an updated tune, people have been making good gains with it. Right now I am making a little over 620rwhp on 93.

    I enjoy collectiong K98s, and there are still deals out there. Keep an eye out for local auctions and gun shops ask them to give you a call if a k98 comes in. Have you considered buying a k98 off gunbroker? I've found a few deals on their already, and sometimes people miss excellent rifles due to crappy pictures. I picked up a k98 for 225 on GB a few months back, sold it because I only wanted the stock.

     

    Generally the Russian captures will be shellaced and have darker stocks, but the original german rifles will also darken with age due to the linseed oil finish depending on storage conditions. I tend to leave stocks alone, unless its a RC with bad shellac peeling offf.

     

    Just don't rush into a buy, and keep on looking and you will find a decent deal if you look hard enough. You'll need to determine if you want something original or a russian capture. I think a great alternative is buying sporterized rifles, and restoring them. This depends on how much was done. Some are simple cut down stocks, which you can replace, sure the stock wont match, but you may have a complete matching rifle.

    Why did you say it's a sniper? Were you told it was? It's definitely not a turret mount or claw mount because there are no visible taps on the receiver. What is the manufacturers code on the receiver? Only a few codes were made into snipers.

     

    Look at the left side of the receiver from the inside. LSR and SSR should have holes or signs of holes tapped on the side simular to the Mosin PU snipers. If those are also missing then this was never a sniper. Either way, once it was bubba'ed it's really not worth anything.

     

    Generally the SSR rifles were early K98's so I'd rule that out. The only possibility would be an LSR being a 44'. However the LSR's were built off Gustloff thickwall receivers which this doesn't appear to have. We would also would have seen some milling on the sidewall, so I doubt it was ever a sniper. Just appears to be a bubba with a lymans rear sight.

    I think the point they are trying to get across is that the above picture is not of his gun. It is something he pulled off the Internet to better show what the eagle over the swastika proof mark looked like. Yes the picture may be Norwegian, but it's not his :rolleyes:

     

    Exactly. lol

     

    Even though its sporterized, It will still be a great shooter if the bore is good.

    I am not arguing that the picture's you quoted are Norwegian, however the picture your are saying is of "his" isnt!

     

    Look at his post again , the first 4 photos he posted are of his rifle in a hardwood sporter stock. With no milling visible, and only 4 digit serial. The picture he posted of the Norwegian, just says "the eagle looks like this". That rifle is a 5 digit serial rifle, with original serial marked out, and is pictured in a laminate stock.

     

    So again, Yes the last rifle picture he posted is Norwegian, but it inst his rifle, judging by the other pictures he included. If they were clear we be able to better determine.

    I'll bet a pound of luttefisk its Norwegian. Ive never seen another with the telltale milling on the reciever.

    Compare it to some pics:

     

    His pictures are hard to tell, I mean in the 3rd picture, it doesn't look milled. And the 4th it does, but could just be a reflection. I agree Norwegians only did that type of milling, but I don't think his is milled, the pictures with the obvious Norwegian rifle, was just an example I'd think.

    I don't think its a rifle from Norway. I am assuming he just used that pictures to show the appearance of the eagle.

     

    Its a shame that this was turned into a deer rifle. I'd still hold onto it and shoot it.

     

    What are the numbers on the proof marks on the right side of the receiver? Also what code on the top?

     

     

    Intercooler & Mintbore, you guys have some good looking k98k's! I have a pretty good size collection, only 2 are bring backs, and 1 is 100% matching. I prefer the late war rifles.
