After restoring my k98 to her former glory, I decided to give this old girl a go. She's a no 4 mk I (no star, has the weird bolt catch/button thingy) Faz. No dates, FTRd. She now has a minty LB barrel.
Came to me with a broken and bubba'd rear sight, filed into an off center notch, and missing the pin that keeps the slider on the ladder, and needed the spacer. I found another at the gun show for $15 that was missing the spring, but didn't need a spacer, and re-arsenalled them into one complete one
Then I got a surprise in the mail today! Fresh from YT, my NOS wood set and hardware set from arealgunnut. Wood looks NICE. There were a few little storage and handling dings, but a quick steam took care of the bulk of that. Going to hit em with the BLO when I get home from work tonight, give er another coat tomorrow, and see where it ends up!
