A LGS has a 1914 Amberg Kar 98 (direct ancestor to the WWII Kar 98K) that was modified to a mid-grade sporter in probably the 50's or 60's. It has a non-cheek rest sporter stock, new .270 Win barrel and was fitted with a rear peep sight. The recoil pad is cracked and tired (not surprisingly), but the whole package looks good, and as definitely a few steps above the work completed by Bubba's Gunsmithing, Bait Shop, Dry Wall and Septic Services. The cool features include: factory 90° bolt handle, nice receiver markings, and all matching serialized parts (except, of course, the barrel and other missing forward metal), and pre-war / early-war action build quality. The original parts have not been refinished, and have a pleasant patina. What do you folks think?
