Thanks 72 usmc My dou is weird in that the reciever, bolt & floorplate all match. While the stock , handguard, bands and rear sight all have the same serial number. It's like someone put together two rifles. After reading posts on "depot rebuilds " I had thought it might have been one, but was told ...

I completely forgot I asked this last year and got a reply.
But I'm gonna leave it up to see if anyone has more information.

I putzed around ( read broke ) and missed out on the cheap German k98 stocks. I have a Brno made model 98 made at dou in 43. The stock was heavily modified before I bought the rifle to include the following Buttstock cut down to add a pachmayr recoil pad Stock sling slot filled in, Bolt takedown dis...

This is good news as Apex is a parts dealer and will want to sell them. It'd have been great had S.S been able to stay in business as they had the knowledge of the inventory. But I don't begrudge him his retirement. Can't enjoy it if you aren't alive to do so. I was trying to keep an eye on century'...

Welcome to the board, sorry I didn't greet you earlier.

I thought it was a done by the importer to simplify things. Easier to apply a new number than read the old one. And everything is in a nice clean order.

I thought so. These weren't in the other pics posted last time.

Pretty clever.
And good to know about the disassembly.

It's in Russian, but translated over to English no problem, The place was identified as being in Springfield Massach...

Oh I definitely like the song. I played it just the other day. Cranked up so I could hear it in the shower.

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

For real? Back around 1984 we had a full house. My family plus moms boyfriend, his two kids and his brother and his cousin. So things ran out faster than normal. On separate occasions I cut up a paper shopping bag, a pair of worn out underwear and then a couple of coffee filters. Mom would have been...

Welcome to the board.

Damn, now I'm curious as to year and maker.

I am ok in ammo. But could always use more. I like to check out prices. I went over to my favorite site sgammo.com and was surprised despite reading about the surge in sales only to see they'd shut down new orders for at least a week. You can't even get into their site to see what they had,. I don't...
