Erma S/27.G






Nice early 1935 Erma K98. An RC, but heck you don't find these too often.
It actually came with nice Luftwaffe marked stock, I've always wanted one of those.

More pics at a certain K98K forum.

Brunn swp45








Late war 1945 Brunn in RC Semi-Kriegsmodell configuration. I hadn't seen any RC's in Kriegsmodell or Semi-Kriegsmodell format before.

The stock is also interesting but is RC force Matched:

The stock looks almost unissued and is unserialized and you can see some chatter marks, especially where the sling would have been fitted.
The bottom spine of the butt also has a single "H".
Almost a text book example of a semi-Krieg, even though it is an RC. Too bad Ivan scrubbed two Reich Eagles (I like that more than peening which just seems silly) and one 'X' on the receiver blemishes a wAa 63, but how often do your find these rifles?
 
Believe it or not, the Russians tended to that km stocks as a separate variant, so if you see a latewar stock, it will have latewar bands, etc. But usually they did not necessarily put 1944 or 1945 actions into km stocks. In the states I've seen pre-war actions in full km stocks, for example.

Nice rifles for being rc.

That luftwaffe stock likely came off a 1939 Mauser Oberndorf though, based on the acceptance proofs, waa63 and buttplate pattern.
