Could someone explain the term duffle cut. I hate to assume.

[Norton]

Yes I have heard the term and now I see the product. Why did your dad cut that section out of the stock? Was it to fit the dissasembled rifle inside the duffel bag for transit home? An old black guy I worked with when I was still in high school. Had been a WW 2 quatermaster with the 'colored troops' as he called it.
He said he shiped a German Mauser back home in his duffle bag from Oran. He told the sailors stole it and everybodys elses trophy guns while on board the transport.
Anyway you have a nice rifle with a great story behind it.

Yep! It had to be dissasembeled and cut to fit in his duffle bag. Your friend probably didn't get it stolen but more like confiscated. My Dad brought back the 98 and two pistols which he was only allowed one of each at first but was told when he was getting ready to get on the boat no to all so he sawed his canteen in half, Dissasembeled the two pistols put them in the canteen and duffle cut the mauser. He told me he was nervous getting off the boat due to having to turn in his equipment he thought they would find them so he called my Grandfather (a Lt Col in the Air Corp/Force at the time) to meet him at the base and give them to him.

I wonder how many of those survived destruction.

[Rampager]

Here is the 2 I have right now. Top is a Yugo refurb Mod.98 that was in unfired condition, this thing is mint (private sale), bottom is a 1937 S/147 J.P. Sauer und Sohn, RC that I got from IO. Next I'm looking for a nice cupped buttplate late war to finish off my K98 collection.

[Schultz]
