First time in my life I've ever been called a trend setter! It would be great to see more bolt actions at CiA events, as that what most German and British foot soldiers actually used. What we need now, is for the allies to ditch a few Thompsons and get some Enfields made.
Couldn't agree more.
Maybe in the fullness of time we'll all naturally progress to more rifles. We'll know we've arrived when there's just a couple of smgs and a support weapon and everyone else with rifles. Fire and movement might actually work then too.

Ditto, would be great if we could have the ratio more like the real life deployment.
Do you think Warren would reduce the cost of his Lee-Enfield's/K98's if folks could club together and ordered in bulk ?

i think he's got that much work on it'd be quicker for us to build our own!
If anyone doesn't want the hassle of ordering K98 stocks from abroad, I just found these....

Complete with stock bands. Hopefully might get a few more people to try it.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

LMAO - tried and tested
My progress so far:
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942
my stock has arrived today.
Now to get down to the work, i have no doubt i will be calling on the advice of you fellows before too long

Boshman, looking good so far!
Jeks, good luck with your conversion. Best advice is take your time over it and it will all just fall into place.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
update-------

above ebay store is doing rear sight assemblys and other items if anyone needs for their projects
look under mauser parts, also limited stuff for mosin nagant
That's who I used for my trigger guards. He's really good, especially since he added a freebie with every order I made!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Good find. Thats definitly one for the favorites!
Not that it really matters, but I believe those are actually Vz24 rear sights not Kar98k ones.
Oh no! im turning into a stitch (or should that be Bolt counter?). 
They are a good price though!

Sgt Heide, you rock! I received my beautiful K98 today, and if it fires like your own rifle Pete, I will be well pleased. Great workmanship mate - I am in awe of you! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
gents
the trigger guard and rear sight assembly has arrived.
??? trigger guard ???
I have noticed that the trigger guard does not simply slide into place and from observations appears that the rear section of the magazine house needs cutting and shaping. is this correct or is there an alternative sollution.
??? rear sight ???
this is still connected to what appears to be a section of the original barrel or similar part . does this also need grinding off or is there a way to remove it .
I am so close to completing now need help on these last bits before i get all jackie chan on it
cheers
jeks
