  1. UPS just came by with big box from century:D

     

    cant tell much through the cosmo but heres the breakdown;

     

    no pitting at all on any guns.all have complete crest.

     

    3 all matching numbers. 1 without matching numbers, bent bolt is only non matching piece. 2 even have front sight hoods.

     

    2 with cracked upper hand guards. 1 with small crack on left side of receiver. 1 with no cracks, and new upper hand guard. 1 of the ones with a cracked upper hand guard looks like the wood is deteriorating or rotting.

     

    im very happy. i have 1 or 2 that will make good full military pieces. the others will be SPORTERIZED MUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

     

    for $89 i think ill get a couple more

     

     

  2. hey guys, ordered one of these figured only $40. well it came in today, it is litterally brand new. the add said some pitting from storage on the outside, i see none, looks perfect. i left it at work but ill try and remeber to post some pics tomorrow. 19" 7x57 military stepped for a large ring 98. im thinking of profiling it and putting it on a yugo with a mannlicher stock.

     

    sarco part number MSR110

  3. hey guys, a little background and some questions. i started on my GEW 98 today, doing some practice stuff for shooting up some surplus ammo before i start on the sporter project. scrubbed the bore it looks pretty good. recrowned the barrel on the lathe. removed the military rear site. disasembled the whole thing , scrubbed it out with LPS orange degreaser, hit it lightly with a fine scotch bite pad to briten it up for some cold blue. its a 1917 with so little pitting it would have come out with the scotch brite, all matching numbers no electro pencil. someone had done a hack job on the stock and buggered up both action screws, but i got it for $80. i shot it a couple of times before i started, hit what i was aiming at, functioned well.

     

    now for my questions, i hope its an easy answer that i think i already know. when i reassembled it, i put a little outers gun oil on the bolt and raceways, its the only oil i had at that moment. when i tried to work the bolt rapidly it kept wanting to hang if i didnt pull exactly straight back. same thing going forward, i hope i just need to put some better lube on it. it has some play when the bolt is out of battery but i dont think it is any more than the other couple mausers ive handled. the other thing i notice was that now when i take up the the first stage of the trigger the shroud and cocking piece move down with the sear, it may have always done this just never noticed it. dose any of this sound like a real problem?

     

    thanks for the help, bert
