I believe they are .308 mags, but I am not sure what they are to. I will attempt to clean up one of the crappier ones and see what possible markings are on them. They are heavy corroded inside and out. We also pulled a very heavy .308 barrel that is 26" long. Might be a M700 barrel. There are some markings on it. It's at least 1" thick and solid through and through.How bad are the mags? They may clean up
No, wood looks way to fresh as does the rust.
How about the mags?
That bayonet looks European. Wrong pommel for a Garand; the pommel reminds me of a SMLE mechanism, as do a few of the other features. But there's an overall crudeness to the manufacture that I've never really seen before.
barrel attachment point doesn't line up, but the rest of it looks like one.1895 Mannlicher bayonet. Steyr/Austrian or Dutch, maybe.
Hmmm. Czech VZ24?
Yeah, looks Czech to me, too.
No thanks, I have better uses of money than to try to feed a Kar 98.Well now you have to find a rifle to put on it!
Looks awesome.Some post cleaning pictures for those who are interested.
