Default Posen depot re-work S/42G K98k

Newest addition to my collection. I thought I was buying a stock mismatch S/42G. Turned out to be something completely different. I was concerned it was humped at first, but info from the K98kforums say otherwise. I was told the receiver and bolt are from a Posen depot rework and the stock is from a Magdeburg rework. One of the most interesting finds this year!

Sadly, it's been sporterized

Notice the Weimar firing proof on the receiver and Nazi firing proof on the replacement barrel, indicated by the 0,2 marking

Stock isn't matching, but is also a depot rework

Still a nice find even if it has been sporterized. I've wanted a K98 converted from a Gew.98 for awhile.

The depot rework/Gew conversions are definitely some of the more interesting pieces

the weirdest k98 I saw was on the forum's a while ago. it was a ww1 polish capture so it was stamped with captured marks and in ww2 it was recaptured by the Germans and re stamped for the germans once again.
