Steel wool will cause irreversible damage to wood and metal on firearms. If you are concerned about rust on metal parts use oil and brass/copper wool. I have seen hundreds of rare Mauser K98s and K43 rifles that would have been collectible destroyed by steel wool and sand paper.

Nice pistol, I would recommend You not store it inside of the pictured holster. It will destroy the finish. The holster looks like a modified German p38 holster.

The pistol and mags are not SA marked. I purchased the SA holster first because that was the only original I could find at the time.

It is stamped in the Flap and ink stamped P39T on inside. I think I paid $800 for my pistol, extra mag, an both original holsters.

I didn’t see any SA marking on the pistol or holster in the link. Here is my holster SA marked holster

Very nice stuff. I have most of those pieces myself. I like making rigs out of them and collecting all the accessories. I see you are looking for a SA marked CZ38. That is going to be almost impossible to find. I have a CZ38 with a P39T marked holster and SA marked holster too.

It’s probably good with the headspace but you can probably get a matching one for that price if you look around.The M48s are normally in new condition and not collectible. If you want something more collectible I would look for a VZ24 or Yugo refurbished K98. You can probably find one for around that price.

I have been there. It is pretty cool and they have a lot of cool stuff in there. It should only take a few hours to go through it. It isn't that far from the DC area if your looking for something else to do.

I have one and I'm sure you can thread it. They appear to have the same diameter as the Wasr 10 rifles that have the slant brakes. I would advise against threading it if you ever plan on selling it in the future. The Mak 90 is basically a post ban rebranded Polytech AK. A good condition Mak 90 that has original non-thumbhole Chinese furniture are pretty pricey in today's market. If it is a milled receiver it is worth a few hundred more.

That law above doesn't say pistol anywhere. It says any firearm made from a shotgun or rifle. There definitely is a ATF ruling permitting Radom, Lugers, Broom handles,FN/Browning Hi Powers, and a few others listed from being class 3 item.

It's a bogus code. While the receiver codes do exist individually they were not stamped together.There is a earlier war dual code rifle with a BCD/AR marking. The receiver stamping on this rifle are crudely done by hand. The 2 factories stamped are in different countries. A lot of parts were often out sourced on late war rifles but not like this. The stock would more than likely not have a sn externally and it should be a full or semi Kriegsmodell type. Byf 44 L block on had this type of stock. Yes it is possible for the rifle to be pristine after all these years.These are all legit collectibles,some are unfired.

Here is another fake piece of junk with fake capture papers http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?27207-Fake-duel-code-dou-byf-45-44

We have met before I purchased a Type 99 from you. I never emailed him at all but I'm sure someone told him he was busted, then he pulled the auction. The rifle needed more than just a bolt renumber to even be able to pass it off as a correct rifle. A original Kriegsmodell Steyr stock is next to impossible to find due to the unique eagle H and bolt cutout. The rear sight was not numbered either which it should be. The bolt he destroyed is a $250-300 ebay item and it's sad because the rifle it goes to could be out there.

This behavior sucks and seeing the BNZ45 K98 I recently sold renumbered just sucks. If you do your research you can avoid being sucked into the trap. It is crazy that people who have large amount of disposable income will buy this crap and later be stuck with it.

It's kind of ridiculous that we can't have a 70+ year old weapon.

No, but if dealing with armslist be careful. A lot of scam ads on there.

I have a pistol that is marked on the grip. It is marked Unteroffizierschule 11 waffe 1 Non-commissioned officer training school #11 weapon#1.

Very nice, I have one exactly like it with matching numbers wood and barrel.

The value can depend on many factors. The P38 is worth probably $700-900 in very good to excellent matching condition for that year with 1 correctly proofed mag. A complete rig with 2 correct mags and a hard shell holster would be worth $1k or more depending on condition and serial/code. The PP has a wide spectrum of $500 to thousands.

I don't think a stock for 200 euros would be original as they are worth probably 2 times that with no metal parts.If it is original it probably has some serious issues. The decent laminate reproduction stocks from Poland are over $300 USD. Sadly many non matching rifles are worth more in parts than a complete rifle. I paid $300 for the spare parts kit for my buttstock compartment.

Your probably better off buying the cheapest functional rifle in original configuration you can as original parts are rare and expensive.There are reproduction parts but some were not made of properly heat treat/ hardness steel. Many reproductions stocks are hardwood which are completely wrong and will not help with resale value in the future.

I am on K98 forum, if you buy a g/k43 and plan on shooting it buy a mismatched rifle and install a shooters kit by apfeltor.

These are some of the items that I collect that I would never shoot. All of them are matching numbers with unmolested stocks. 1. Unfired AC45 K43 rifle with rare SKL 45 sling 2.BYF44 K98 3.BCD 4 K98 phosphate/blued 4 DOT 1944 K98 5.BNZ 45 K98 6. Near perfect 100% correct early Remington 1903A3 0 TE and 0 ME

I am certainly interested in C&R classified weapons but I am more focused on mint condition collector items. I would assume many were people interested in them at one time but with ammo supplies near the end the interest will eventually dry up with most people.
