K98K rework

[JES AR15]

ok, here it is. my k98k rework from cdnn, $169 +$5 for the cleaning rod. it had hardly any cosmo on the outside, some on the inside, no rust anywhere. the reciever and floor plate match, the bolt was force matched by grinding off the original #'s and stamping the handle with the new #'s :mad: ugly. the strap at the very front of the wood, the #'s were ----- out :( . i don't care that the other #'s don't match because you can't see them easy.
the blueing in some places is really nice. other places its worn. the reciever blueing wear looks really cool, i'm not going to touch that. some of the other metal patrs will get touched up.
the wood looks pretty descent :) . it will get sanded pretty well, but for the vast most part i will be able to get everything out of it, so it will end up looking VERY nice:p
the bore is on the dark side. but i didn't do a lot of work on it yet, patches still coming out very dark (clp only patches). the rifleing is very strong with just a little pitting. i expect it will shoot very nicely :p.
i see what looks like wings stamps.

what i don't like. as i fondle it and think of the history i always come across the yugo crest, i don't like it, its not original. and the force matched bolt kinda sucks along with the ------ front strap #'s.
other than that i'm pretty happy with my purchace and its not going back :)

enjoy

yeah, its got lots of those 359 type stamps on it.
hell, even 1 screw has that stamp on it !

[whos2kno]

I was just counting all the proof marks on the out side.just on the out side I have 11 proof marks with out taking it apart. this one must have been a Friday yugo.I can see the guy now,it's Friday about 4:45 and this is his last rifle of the day and all he has to do is scrub all these proof marks off and he can go home.;)

cool are they stamped marked 359 or another number?
you might want to look under the receiver that where I found the SS marking.

[JES AR15]

1. After posting your proofmarks under the rear sight, I check and sure enough their they were. I will have to get that deal through on the SKS for you. Thanks.:D
