Polish WZ29 Short Rifle

[Andy]

Word of mouth brought this to me.

Sporterized but that's the only bad news. Metal is untouched, centre band and swivels is there, numbers all match and the bore is VG. Not bad for what I paid for it and it even came with a WWI Lee Enfield sling (Wrights 1915) and 25 loaded rounds.

Picked up a German (Zella-Mehlis "JGA") single shot 22 for a song while I was there asking "what else ya got?".

You're a busy man Andy. Never a day without some milsurp rifle-related event?

Find yourself a shot out Spanish "M44 Airforce" rifle, take the stock, and you are back in business.

Na Pewno!

Springfield Sporters has nice original stocks for about 40 bucks US. Restore that puppy!

I have one and did a comparison, but the M44 I have is far too nice to break up. A few differences such as no bolt dissassembly washer in the buttstock, but it would "work".

I think czech VZ-24 stock might be the closest looking and easiest to find for a restoration.

Not to hijack, but I have seen a guy selling Polish Mauser stocks on E-bay, week after week. Anyone have the background on that? Seems to convenient, but maybe legit.

Andy if you ever sell, let me know!

Have a 1937 Wz98a Some IDIOT chopped off about 6 inches of the stock to "sportyize" it. Now wears K98 wood. The bluing is just about perfect.
Better to have that than a "bubba'd rifle"
But the original stock had Polish inspectors marks all over it. Unfortunately the stocks shown on EBay are for the other version. The Wz98a is an arsenal shortened long rifle.
