It is unmolested, all markings are intact and all serial numbers and Waa 280 stampings are on the stock, front barrel band, rear barrel band, bayonet lug and flat butt plate. Hand guard is numbered to the stock- #6162. Now the question is where can I find a 27 or S/27 ERMA stamped barrel and receiver, bolt assembly, trigger guard assembly, floor plate, barrel band spring, etc. to complete this project? I am not concerned about the serial numbers not matching. Any thoughts on obtaining these parts and would it be feasible?

I don't know if they would do a special pick. The other option, find a sporterized rifle with an early date action even if you couldn't match to Erma, who is going to take out a loupe on the range and start checking the Waa. For $25 into the stock plus the cost of a chopped rifle you still might get away cheaper than a russian capture rifle.

If you decide to get rid of the stock send me a PM.

What you bought is worth $150.00-$200.00 as you described it so consider yourself lucky and try not to get another good deal like that as it really pisses us off!!!

I'll try Rguns to see what I can get and keep my eyes open at my local gun shops. Thanks again.

I went back to the shop where I purchased the stock and found the matching barreled action and all the other parts that once were mated to this stock. Unfortunately it was put into a synthetic stock, front and rear sight were removed and scope was installed, bolt handle was ground flat on one side to clear the scope, knob to engage the safety was replaced with a smaller after market knob. They are asking $250.00 for this abortion of a once complete and all matching K98. My question to all members of this forum is whether or not this once great firearm can or should be resurrected. All numbers and markings are still intact. The front and rear sights and safety knob are not available. There are holes from the scope mounts. They are very firm on the price.
