Hello fellow THR's,
A gun store near me just received an old sporter in for consignment. It's a 1916 Amberg Mauser Gewehr 98, and it's all matching. It has about 30% of its finish left. Sadly, the stock was cut down about 8 inches, and the front handguard, front barrel band and bayonet lug are gone. The rifle is very attractively priced and would appear to me to be a good candidate for restoration. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a source for Gew98 stocks. Anybody know of anybody sitting on a big pile of good-condition Gew98 stocks, handguards and bayonet lugs?
Thanks in advance for your help!
