baldie Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Very nice buddy. Just goes to show that some designs just plain work. That action design is around 100 years old.I have the same action sat here, on a k98...but this one made its mark at Stalingrad . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbear Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Baldie, A K98 from Stalingrad is some exciting rifle bet it saw some real use out there!!!!! Can you get some pictures put on? cheers GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its nothing out of the ordinary as far as mausers go guys, but i will take some pics tomorrow night as you are obviously interested. The beauty of the k98 is that you can trace its EXACT history, because they are covered in waffennampts [inspectors marks] There were 14 million made.

Isn't it the 98 you are not supposed to blue print as the bolt when hardened is only the top surface ?? or is my old age catching up with me.

Greenbear Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Baldie, Picking up on your expertise, you don't know what rail will fit my rifle???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Greenbear, sorry buddy, i dont, but they do exist, i,ve seen rifles fitted with them. The people to ask are Fultons at Bisley, or maybe Peter Lawman. I would imagine there are also Parker Hale bases kicking around for them too.

Greenbear Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 cheers mate, I have a one piece mount on my .375 (standard Mauser action again) which looks identical with the holes in all the right places, trouble is I shot a cloverleaf group with 300g heads yesterday at 100m and I sure don't want to take the scope off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was working near Fenland Rural Sports today and popped in for some powder on my way home. You've just got to have a mooch about when you get the chance, it's a bit of an Alladins cave, while I was searching the racks I came across a Parker Hale TX1200 target rifle in reasonable nick for £125, but unfortunately the barrel is past it's best. It's complete with front and rear sights and the timber looks a nicely figured piece of walnut. Not being a target type I have a couple of questions . 1/ Are barrels available for this model. 2/ Would it make financial sense . 3/ Would it make more sense to just forget it and wait for a better example to turn up. 4/ Should I try for a haggle given it's barrel's shagged to keep the nice stock for another rifle with a less than desirable stock but decent barrel/action. Might seem dumb questions, but if you don't ask you won't know. There's obviously a few fans of this model so all opinions welcome. Thanks in advance. Pete.

Hi Pete , I am going to be totally honest in saying , when it comes to rifles i am a complete tart!!! That is i love the custom jobbies!!!! , but i will say this...... I was fortunate to see these rifles in action at different ranges and when our good friend Jamie found me one , i was apprehensive at first ( due to my liking of posh rifles ) but when you get a good one ( and i am yet to see one shoot bad ) they are a absolute bargain !!!!! This is my personal thoughts................. For financial sense this is what i got ( early days yet ) for my money........................... and a recent 500yd testing........................... Sorry if i have posted the same pictures from here and on another thread , but i think for myself it stares me in the face!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are seriously thinking of buying one Pete , give silent souls a PM and he can give you lot of info on the rifles / loads!! He was on to me about getting one for quite a while , and i am sure glad i have got one now!!! :D Hope this helps.................. All the best......................
