Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Picked up this Spandau 1915 Gew 98 today. It has been re blued and the stock sanded/varnished/shellacked but the bore and headspace is great so I hope it shoots well. Bolt is mismatched but most of the other numbers match albeit forced/stamped to match. I don't know a lot about these but do love the long barreled Mausers.

Don't look to bad. Those were it the white originally. If it had been blued by the Germans the rear sight would have been changed.

Look closely at the bolt.....will probably find turk markings. The Turks received lots of these from Germany. The Turks reblued them during refurbs.
