Where the heck are they?

[snipershot1944]

There are a few guys who specialize in K98k Mausers and other German WWII and WWI rifles. I started my collection in about 1970 when I was 14 and have just kept at it over the years. Generally, one or two come my way every year or two. I think I have about 50-60 matching pieces in the collection now.

My friend Scott Benedict (www.pre98.com) has a few on his website, but they are not cheap.

Well I have that rifle, all he did was put it in a sporter stock and ground off the handguard overhang on rear sight. He gave me the stock and other metal. I later found the rifle in a gun store and bought just the barreled action. He never even asked if I would buy it, knowing I had the original parts. He used to give me many of the stocks and metal he took off his "sporters". S/42 1936 #1547t. I also have its younger brother, S/42 1936 #2636t !
