I remember during 1980’s, my father had to go once a month (I was between 5 to 9 years old then) to Patriotic Guards (Home Guards here??) trainings and they all had to shoot a fix amount of rounds. If this rifle has that history, it is possible that it had the stock changed.
That will change too as I found and bought the bayonet lug and the cleaning rod.
Thanks to GeeRam, I will source a “period” stock.
All I need is to solve the drilled holes problem, source a pair of rings or a side mount, and a correct scope.
I would like to have an original Ajack scope, but the one at Southams - which was a G98 model - went for over £600 hammer price. Add to that the 23-25 % commission and the scope becomes prohibitive.
There are other few on ebay but they are located in Bulgaria and other eastern block countries - and not sure to trust the item and the sale.
That’s why I have asked here: Original or replica.
Can't help with the stock as you haven't put up a photo of the whole rifle to see if it is or isn't. The small sections you can see, it looks like a normal 'red' laminate WW2 era German stock though?
If you fit a SSR or LSR side mount you will still see the old drillings in the receiver, so maybe best to go for a low or high turret mount set, which wont fit those existing drillings but will hide them. Accumounts also do a split rings set of high turrets if you choose to go for a post war vintage style scope rather than a correct WW2 era German scope.
Accumounts seem to be no longer selling their repro Zf.39 scope, as their website has had it *out of stock* for well over 18 months now, so your choice will be either original or post war vintage style scope as per Mauserbill's suggestion in an earlier post.
