In short no. This is a postwar set of furniture with a postwar triggerguard.

Hi,
Difficult to say, the stock looks like a late war modified "Reichspost gewehr" with a longuer lower band retaining pin & a cupped buttplate.
The triggerguard could be a late war or post war winter triggerguard. (Detailled photos please).
Best regards from Alsace , France.

C ; There is nothing difficult about this rifle pictured. It is what it is - a post war restocked and likely rebuilt rifle by either the czechs or the yugos.

Re: Perhaps a pinned thread on nothing but WWII 98k rifles?
I was looking at my K98 the other day, and noticed that while the receiver was manufactured at the Wilhelm Gustloff Werke in Weimar (BCD), the barrel was manufactured at Ruhrstahl AG Guss-Stahlwerke in Witten (BYS). This is a capture gun, as noted by the stamped X. Was it common for the Russians to piece together weapons, or could the barrel assembly have been shipped in initially? Just curious to know if someone out there could help me out on this one. Thanks in advance.
