Im getting one soon

That is awesome, Suhertz.

a month ago I saw both ptrs-41 and degtyarov for sale by the polish seaside in Kołobrzeg ('Kolberg' before 1945) in a market selling off all kind of military junk. both authentic for aboot 250-350$ each, all in working order, you just need to unblock the barrel;P

well yeah u should buy one

Apparently, byf is a factory code. Byfs were built at a Mauser plant located in Oberndorf am Neckar, a town in Germany's Baden-Württemberg state. I couldn't tell you if the one in my photo is a byf. The picture was taken at a gun show.

I have a friend who owns a K98 built during the war in Brno, a Czech city occupied by the Germans.

He also has a Tsarist era Mosin Nagant. That model is really long and has a huge bayonet. Apparently, soldiers were supposed to use it as a pike in the event of a cavalry charge. That model was built before the Soviets took power and adopted the Metric system, so it is pretty much impossible to dial-in the sights (unless you are familiar with antiquated units of measurement used exclusively by Imperial Russia).

I don't personally own a K98. I do have a Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine that was built in Izhevsk in 1944. I bought it for $75.

its like a model code i carnt remember look it up

I don't know. Does byf just designate which factory built it?

is it a byf k98k?

omg this is awsome

cool
