Milsurp After Hours

Saw this video just now while looking for something else related to the K98. The guy in this video points out how the rifle build changed over the war. Most of the changes were a matter of time and material but some of the build changes were for the better even so. He points out the bolt and barrel parts were not changed and the rifles were as equally effective first to last.

I've got a couple war reparation Mausers that had been Iron Curtain screwed with at least to the point of scrubbing most of the German gun marks. I'll go over then tomorrow, if I'm not distracted in some way, and examine some of the stock and furniture differences from what was talked about in the video.

If you checked out the above video this post will make a little better sense.

I have two Preduzece 44 stamped versions that were part of war reparations. All significant German gun marks are scrubbed and the Yugo crest on the ring stamped in. These guns are no doubt repaired and refurbished. Both have the flat butt plate and not the boot version.

The one that I show first came with the plywood stock and the stamped furniture. The floor plate is of the intermediate style with the locking screw. It does have the bolt firing pin takedown disk in the stock butt.

The other one. It has a solid wood stock....but with no take down disk. It has milled nose plate and milled sling slot as well as milled trigger guard and early model floor plate. The really odd thing is the lack of the take down disk. The underside of the slide does not have range marks.
