My latest acquisition, Heinrich Krieghoff M98
|
|
Recently I was offered this rifle for a very reasonable price, 2500,- NOK, equals to just under 300,-USD. The pictures I had available were rubbish, but I liked the stock and the full ribbed barrel, so I gambled. When I received it I found one really big flaw. The magazine is not original to the rifle. As you can see in the pictures, the stock, action and barrel have the same serial number, so they belong together. This is the first really old Heinrich Krieghoff rifle based on a M98 action I have ever seen, so I’m not familiar with them. My first guess was that the action was made by Mauser, but based on the different stamps found on the action; I don’t believe this is the case. Anyone feel like trying to shed some light on this action? The chambering are 6,5x54MS.

Kammerherren, have you tested to feed any ammo to yours rifle ? With these caliber markings rifle could be 6,5x55 too.

I agree that the price was good, more or less regardless of the condition. The risk was, how should I put it, acceptable!
It is 6,5x54MS for sure, I have tested both, and there were some cartridge boxes for sale with the rifle as well, 6,5x54MS. (I did not buy them since I really don’t need them).
