An interesting VZ24

Post by Niner » Mon Jul 04, 2005 4:42 pm

Got this rifle at a gun show some years ago. Aside from being in very good shape, it came with a matching bent bolt. At the same time the factory information was removed from the ring....like the Russian capture thing. Bent bolt VZ24's are not something you see every day.

I have a VZ24 rebuilt as a K98 in WW2. It was built in 1934 and rebuilt in WW2 I presume.

I am lacking in knowledge of how to modify the width of the pictures when linked from photobucket. I could do it on EZboard but that method doesn't seem to work here. How do I do it?

Regards

Peter.

They are very much first cousins so to speak though, the VZ24 and the K98. Does the bolt serial number match the receiver? Noticed the laminated K98 stock... that is later war there, as you know.

If you want to resize your pictures use html to do it. See this post.

Or, just upload from desktop in the bottom of the post screen. Find your picture in the "browse" screen. Hit the Add Attachment button and wait for the picture to transfer. Then hit submit.
