You have a very nice rifle. I believe that you said all numbers match except the bolt? It is Imperial German with an ersatz sling, the sling alone is collectible. I would not even dream of refinishing it and if you glue (carefully) the handguard back together, you have a keeper. Soon, we'll tell you how to set the sling up correctly..... ... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (chcusnr1) http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/sreply/176051 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:47:19 GMT http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/reply/176042/t/GEW-98-what-caliber-is-it-.html#reply-176042 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TP) http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/sreply/176042 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:18:07 GMT http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/reply/175956/t/GEW-98-what-caliber-is-it-.html#reply-175956 feeds@yuku.com (dan2116) http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/sreply/175956 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:44:53 GMT http://parallaxscurioandrelicfirearmsforums.yuku.com/reply/175865/t/GEW-98-what-caliber-is-it-.html#reply-175865 dan2116 wrote:

I don't know how to post pictures so they will show in the original post but there is the web page in the original post that can be clicked on and the photos are there.Thanks

Only if one registers and sets up an account at that site.
This site uses Photobucket and if you put pictures there it is very easy to put them on your post here.

I have seen decent matching guns for $400.00.

These do not command K98k prices even if excellent condition. I have also seen them higher but turned down one that matched (except stock) for $350.00 with a good bore.

A Gew98 should handle the recoil a little better at the range and are they nice shooters with a good bore.

I use Gorilla glue to repair hand guards..
Refinishing a stock actually devalues it. If the gun is a mismatched and the stock is crappy anyway that is different but if it is decent I suggest a good cleaning with some wood oil on the walnut.

Most people do not want to register at a photo site just to view a picture so perhaps you can use Photobucket to keep your Mauser/rifle pictures.
