Hey guys.

So I've got an accumounts LSR mount and a real ZF39 scope that I'm going to mount to my Israeli 7.62 k98, I'm just not 100% sure I'm right about what accessories it should have to look more correct.


My understanding is that the LSR was a late war model so it would have had the special safety wing. (yes I know that's not an LSR in the picture)

Secondly I'm pretty sure the LSR's were made especially to be sniper rifles and were made with a thicker receiver wall and a chequered butt plate.

Lastly my K98 came with a bigger than normal trigger guard. Were some k98's like that? or is this an Israeli thing? (That's not my gun but the trigger guard looks the same)

Let me know if I'm wrong about any of this because it's a lot of extra money to toss at things that may not matter.


Thanks for any and all feedback.
 
The enlarged trigger guard is post war.

LSR were made mostly by Gustloff, aka bcd or Sauer aka ce.

They had a thick sidewall, key safety and a checkered buttplate.
 
The enlarged trigger guards were made in Czechoslovakia post-war. If you want a sniper looking rifle, you should replace it with a normal trigger guard with removable floor plate.

It's in a real German stock. Normally I would feel really bad about doing anything to a part of history, but it doesn't have any numbers and you have to look really close to see the waffen stamp on the butt and I'm 98% sure it's been re-oiled. It still looks really nice though. Other than the scope, the stock is the only German war-time part. It should look really nice when I'm done with it though, and because it's 7.62 NATO I'll always be able to buy ammo for it.
 
I sold a bcd 4 rifle a few years ago that was manufactured as a sniper receiver.
I thought it was a bubba job at first until I got the Collector Grade book on Mauser snipers.
I had the safety and butt plate for sniper 98 both reproductions.
The rifle was in nice condition. I hope the new owner completed the transformation to sniper.

Pretty sure the rifle pictured does not have a German WW2 stock due to the grooved forend. That says Israeli issue to me.
