Here are some of mine.

I have to say, the Port k98's are probably one of the most beautiful milsurps I have ever seen. I want one...
Time for a K98k picture thread! Perhaps the ULTIMATE CGN K98k picture #### post (?)

As promised to: Travis Bickle, Jbmauser, Remembering.
I have completed a gun cabinet to house my purchases from them. Although the M48BO in the middle doesn't really qualify, I'm hoping I can be forgiven for this one transgression.
From top to bottom, BNZ K98, M48BO, and a Portugese Contract K98. Hope you like the setup. I will finish mounting and clearing the extra dust etc tomorrow.

Thanks CanadianAR.
Love these rifles. All number matching or they wouldn't be there. I only fired a box of S&B 196 FMJ out of the M48BO, cleaned it and put it away. I take them apart once and awhile and clean or examine to ensure there isn't any rust. Those LEDs are way too bright, I'm going to have to put a variable resistor or deflect the front view somehow.

Hey knotking. Was wondering. For these non restricted rifles. Can I display them on my livingroom wall if I mount them with wall triggerlock assembly. And can I leave the bolts in them for display aswell? I love your showcase display by the way.
My dou 42, seems to relatively un-messed with, wrong site hood, awful finish applied on the stock (not sure how to rectify) but that seems to be about it. Even shoots very well for what it is....... The byf 44 is a complete mixmaster sadly.

Thank you...just wanted to confirm
It says in a case difficult to break into for non-restricted but my case wouldn't be that tough. I went to the RCMP site and decided that I would leave the trigger locks on. I could leave the bolts in too but as previously mentioned, no unsecured ammo. Always check regulations rather than 2nd hand information. Im on the fence on leaving the bolts out. The case will be secured to the wall but that's so it doesn't fall not for security. Nothing is fool proof.

Got my rifle from tradeex today, It looks great. Needs a good cleaning as its covered in machine oil (or cosmo just smells like my great aunts sewing machine)
This is a war model as it locks the bolt open when the chamber is empty, no swastikas or stuff like that on it. Has several areas that have been obviously milled and it is re-stamped with the Yugo crest as it is an eastern capture. Ammo is $34/box or more so will be shooting this like I smoke Cuban Cigars.

An interesting Mauser K98 I have just got, research shows the following.
Markings:
Extract from Mauser Military Rifles of the World, Robert W.D.Ball
“”A slightly redesigned VZ.23, adopted in December 1924 and issued on a large-scale beginning in 1926. Late VZ.23s have been observed restocked as VZ.24s. Three crest varieties: a few transitional rifles with the VZ.23 arched text crest; the three line Ceskolovenska Zbrojovka Brno address crest starting in 1925, and the large Czechoslovak lion crest after 1935. In August 1936, the first rifles were manufactured at the new rifle plant at Povaszka Bystrica, in the Province of Slovakia. In September 1935, 50,000 VZ.24s were made up from used and new spare parts, and even old German Gewehr 98s. In the 62,000-rifle order placed in August 1936, 55,000 rifles were manufactured from standard materials, while 7,000 were made using substitute materials including only domestic ore for steel. and at least seven types of substitute stock wood. The last VZ.24 production order was placed in July 1938. Most of these rifles were made at Brno, while the remainder was produced at Povaszka Bystrica from domestic materials. The actual number manufactured is uncertain due to the German Annexation of Bohemia and Moravia. Primary sources: 2 and 6; see also all others cited.)
The G.24t was a newly produced VZ.24 variant made for the Wehrmacht at the former Ceskolovenska Zbrojovka Brno plant at Povaszka Bystrica, Slovakia (receiver code “dou”). In 1941. approximately 115,000 were made. while approximately 140,000 were produced in 1942 prior to changeover to Kar98k production. (Source: 5)””
Additionally, the
great similarity between the Czech vz. 24 and the German standard issue Kar 98K only worked in the German's favor concerning training, general operation, maintenance and production of the Czech rifle for their own uses. German VZ. 24 rifles were designated as G24(t) to indicate their foreign origination in German nomenclature. The weapon also ended up in the hands of Axis-aligned Romanian troops during their turn in the war.
The Bayonet.
Czech VZ-23 Long bayonet Sword bayonet made during the 1920s and 1930s by Československá zbrojovka a.s., Brno, primarily for export to nations that wanted a longer bayonet with their Czech-made Mauser rifles. These bayonets can be found with both inverted and conventional blade profiles.
This one, no markings just serial number.
Markings:
- Manufacturer: Ceskolovenska Zbrojovka A.S. Brno
- Low serial number seems first 10,000 as used A,B etc. after that for 10,000, 20,000 etc.
- dou = Waffenwerke Brunn AG, Brno, Ceskolovenska, what the Germans renamed the above manufacturer.
- E3 = Brno
- The following 24G, (t) makes up G24(t) which is what the Germans re coded the rifle, they made some with G24(t) on receiver (rare). Think the person stamping it did not follow instructions, or maybe it was how they did the first few. The (t) indicates Czechoslovakia
- One article mentioned the scrubbing of the top of receiver, no logo on top.
The wood on the top is different from VZ23/24, but it’s the same as the German Mauser, this think it is part of 1935 run. - The Trigger group, floorplate and butt plate have and old serial number over stamped and changed to the rifle number. Waffen inspector eagle markings from inspector 280 on trigger group.
- Don’t know what the TG2 on stock is.
