svw45 Kriegsmodell

[jbmauser]

Just arrived today and I snapped a few pics in the fading light for you guys to check out. This is an original and matching svw45. It is in excellent condition with spectacular phosphate finish and great chatter. Everything is phosphate except the e/135 marked ejector assy, front trigger guard screw, follower, and rear sight spring which are blued. With only about 15,000 svw45 marked K98k's made they are one of the hardest to find in original untouched and matching condition.

This one is mentioned in the book "Kriegsmodell" by Bruce Karem/Mike Steves in a couple places and is definitely the highlight of my collection. It's just an outstanding piece.

Sorry some of the pics aren't the greatest.

Ahhh....man....another one!!! You guys gotta stop.... too many nice K98's lately....who even collects those???







Another nice piece brought to Canada, good work Jeremy, keep it up guys and keep bringing back some nice collector stuff to OUR country!!

Absolutely 100% worth your efforts. Not much to say but unquestionably original vet bringback exactly the stuff collectors search for.

Hey Andrew, how did I manage to comment on this nice rifle before you? Doesn't some sort of bat signal shine into the sky over Southern Ontario everytime a K98k is posted on CGN?

I'd already seen it!

Its actually old news. I've known for months and saw it 6 weeks ago! Hahah

That thing has gotta be way better than you could've hoped for. Truly outstanding and that chatter is awesome. Definately the nicest MO I've seen in a while.

 

[desporterizer]

That must have set you back a princely sum. Where did you find it?

 

[gaff]

very nice

Well, you saw the seller's pics and it was pretty hard to tell how much chatter it had in them. When I finally got to examine it in person, I was blown away by the extent of it and how rough it is in places. Also the phosphate is much nicer than I expected as well. Really a nice grey, similar to Andrew's bcd4. A lot of the MO phosphate seems to be more green than this, at least it is on my byf45.

Great rifle, now you need one with a modded MG15 barrel.

 

[Mike Webb]

Nice rifle. Does the absence of the H for Heer on the butt indicate it was never issued or was the practice stopped late in the war?

 

[samsplacci71]

Outstanding find! Wow! You guys sure have some very nice Mauser examples!

Speaking of which, does anyone in this country actually possess VG or VK rifles?

The rifle in this thread is an outstanding example! Remarkable to have survived.

I would try to get one but MO never used the MG15 barrels. That's a Gustloff thing. They are super cool though and super expensive if you can find one.

 

[CanadianAR]

a late bcd with MG barrel is on my list claven! hahah

 

[myenfield]

I get the impression you don't intend to drill and tap it, turn the bolt down, replace the stock and rebarrel it to .308 or .270?

Seriously, though, that is a great piece. Congratulations.

I recently sold a dot45 almost exactly like it, except the Israeli's chambered it to 7.62 nato first.
