dou43 Matching.

[CanadianAR]

Literally just got this rifle. Oiled it and snapped pics. All matching late dou43. Bayo lug was removed via the pin when it was found, indicating likely GI bringback.
All stamped parts, mint bore. Came with hood, rod and sling. Thanks Brian!

And the new family shot, back to front: PORT 41, ce41 bolt mm, byf42, dou44 bolt mm, byf43, dou43

The dou43 fits nice in the collection. Almost looks like your running a Home for Wayward K98s. It was lost for 30 years, glad I was able to steer down it's long road to a caring home, enjoy

 

[Mr.4x4]

Very nice
Maybe a dumb question but what is the red in the wood grain of the stock?

 

[antidote1985]

nice mauser Familly !!!

 

[Claven2]

It's an epoxy glue since the stock is laminated beech.

My gawd, is that the one from the ee?

 

[CanadianAR]

It is not from the EE.

4x4- there are red glue stocks and white glue stocks, as mentioned it is the colour of the resin that was used.

Thanks guys, glad to have her, working hard on the collection but its turning out well.

 

[desporterizer]

It is not from the EE.

If it was the one I was thinking of, I would have gouged mine eyes out with a spork so I would never have to see the ee again!

Outstanding dou 43 my friend! Congrats on another addition to the collection!

Love the bolt cutout!

 

[Remembering]

Fantastic looking gun, the stock is great, shows wear but condition is awesome. Nice find.

 

[Coyote Ugly]

Nice Rifle! You'll need a bigger table soon as the K98's are taking over!

That's a wonderful collection! I am slightly jealous that you have an all matching one

I have 4, lol

Dont be jealous, they are out there, just be ready to pay. lol

 

[Claven2]

lol - it takes more than a wallet to get one in Canada - you need luck. They don't come up often and go quickly when they do. Easier to get one stateside and import it, but then you need patience. That takes months.

 

[CanadianAR]

Does it ever!

I bought my byf43 stateside, nov 9th, 2012. Got it early feb.......waiting was terrible.

And yes here, luck helps alot. I was lucky yesterday. A K98K and 2 door prizes at a buddys stag and doe.

dou made K98k rifles bear no stock proofing or markings at all. Full serial with letter suffix inside on stock and handguard. Also they are slightly over sized, very noticeable at the wrist.

the dou made G24T have the early type external stock markings.
