Serial number matching on the bolt, receiver and barrel. Side of barrel marked: 7,9 KP."
rifle probably what some call liberated
I quite like the styling of this rifle and stick.Very Germanic IMO. Would look very appropriate slung from ones should in a German forest dressed in loden.
It has qd claw scope mount bases as well, so very useful. Set trigger. Nice.
What a nice idea. Give a friend a rifle and put a plaque on it to commensurate the gift. Something we should do more of, today. I also like the idea of the small brass ecrusteon, or whatever they called, set into the bottom edge of buttstocks, many times including initials or a crest. Similar with the base of the pistol grip.
If it is a "8x51", what cartridge is that? Based on the .308 Winchester or what?
