Latest Purchase

After another harrowing week at work, I decided I was going to take today off and I flew home last night. Sure nice to be home and get to play with the two new "Toys" I received last weekend. I did get the two rifles cleaned and worked over before I left, but not enough time to post them. Here they are:
The first one is a RC K98k, 1939 Erma (Code 27). This is another nice one, but the front of the receiver is not as shiney as my others. The bore is excellent and will make another good shooter. The stock is all vintage to 1939. Here are a couple of photos:
The second K98k is a "dou 44" made in the Bystrica Plant in Czechoslovakia. The bore in this rifle is excellent, but does have some "frosting" on the receiver. When I bought the rifle it had a flat buttplate stock and should have been the cupped type. I called a friend and we made a trade so I got the correct stock now. The stock came off a bubbaized rifle and it is matching to itself and from the correct year, but made by Mauser. The Triggerguard and floorplate are the correct stamped parts so that is nice. This part is tough to find. The Front and Rear Band need to be replaced with the stamped type and I am currently looking for these. Once I have the two bands, it will have the perfect appearance. Here are some photos:
