My latest acquisition, Heinrich Krieghoff M98
      22/05/17 04:17 AM

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.
