Also it's the first serial number
The S is for 8x56r right?
Traces back to a bundle of rifles for Imperial Germany
Neat
And then the obvious Waffenampts
And yeah this one is 8x56R
What about Weimar stuff, or is that just sorta implied?
The 2nd serial number
It has 3
All on the stock
Damn nigga
That’s a lot of history in one rifle
Yuup
Is it a stutzen or full length?
Stutz
Some things suggest that she used to be full length at one point
fugg
Not bubba'd
That’s like, Finn mosin tier
For amount of owners and conversions
Just the wood panels at the end of the rifle look like they were recut. Albeit professionally or at least by someone who knew exactly what they were doing
Duffle cut or actual repair?
I assume just whenever the rifle was shortened if it was shortened. They didnt wanna toss out the wood so they just cut it I'd assume
It doesn't have any varnish like the rest of the rifle. Just a small layer to seal it so it doesnt rot
I just hate the import mark is on the underside of the barrel
Thankfully you cant realy see it so its whatever
Mother of god the
s t a c k i n g
h o o k
I love ‘em
Ye
She's real beaten up though
Like this rifle has surely seen some shit
Two world wars
The worst bits of both, I imagine
Yeah
It would have been a substitute standard rifle for both Germanys, and not given to the best of troops
Either the Westfront shooting Frenchman in the streets or more likely the hell of the Ostfront in some alley of Stalingrad or even the fields of Poland
That’s like my No.4
She’s a 1942, and a little beat up
