    Swedish Sniper AGA44

    Here is the M96 Swedish sniper rifle in its final form. The experience of war led the Swedes to produce a scope similar to the Russian model of the period . It was simple to produce and robust. These scopes are also uncommon in the States.

    Swedish Sniper AGA42

    Here is the M96 Swedish sniper fitted with the first of 2 indigenous scopes, the AGA42. This scope was complex to produce but effective. It was later superseded by the AGA44. The 6.5 round has been around for much longer than most young shooters realize. The Creedmoor is just the latest...

    M42b Swedish sniper

    Here is an example of the Swedish M42b sniper using the same German Ajack scope as found on the SS/SSR and improved Swedish short side rail mount. Due to the demands of war, German scope exports were stopped and this left the Swedes in need of scopes. They produced 2 indigenous models that...

    Argentine Sniper

    The rifle is known as an m1909. There were several different types of engravings found on the scopes. The sniper conversion was reported to have been done in the 1930’s by the Finnish firm of Nedinsco. That is about all the info I can find.

    Argentine Sniper

    Here is a nice Argentine sniper in 7.65 Mauser. These rifles were produced by Deutches Waffen und Munitions of Berlin for the Argentine government and used a special Carl Zeiss scope produced at Nedinsco. The scopes are scarce and they are mounted with an early low turret German mount. Very...

    Early Waffen Heer Double Claw

    This is an example of an early double claw German sniper rifle most likely converted in a depot when the invasion of Russia began and the German military was hard pressed to keep up with the demand. The scope dates to the late1930’s as does the rifle( 1937)

    German High turret sniper

    Here is an example of a midwar High turret sniper rifle in 7.92 Mauser. The mounts were screwed and soldered to the rifle and scope. The scope was removed after rotating a locking lever and swinging it almost 90 degrees. It was a very substantial mounting system. The scope is a 4x Ajack.

    Gew 98 Sniper WW1

    That is a 3 power Oigee scope. While rifles are scarce, there are a number of scopes to be found on sites like eBay. You can even find them in the original canvas scope case with accessories.

    Gew 98 Sniper WW1

    This is a scarce Gew98 sniper rifle from WW1, also in 8mm Mauser . Most of these rifles were destroyed after the war or reused and consumed in WW2. They are difficult to find in any condition . I have only seen a dozen or so for sale in the last 40 years. Note the metal finishing of the screw...

    Late war German LSR

    This is 7.92 or 8mm Mauser . Thank you sharing is half the fun. As for why? I think it was the quality that hooked me. After some study, there were 800 separate steps involved in making an early 98k. Every single piece is serialized and proofed. 40 hours to produce a single copy. Next I noticed...

    Late war German LSR

    Another of many.... I am new to this forum and have collected German Mausers for nearly 40 years. This is a BCD 4 code rifle . Produced at Buchenwald, the “long side rail” was purpose built as a sniper. The receivers are like no other K98 made during the war. The receiver is oversized with a...

    SS/SSR

    The SS , as a force who answered only to Hitler, were quite unpopular with the traditional German military. That was until later in the war when the tenacity with which they fought was realized . In most cases the German armies were outnumbered by as much as 5 to 1 on the Eastern front. The SS...

    SS/SSR

    The SS were armed with Gew98, .8mm Mausers left over from WW1 through much of the war. It was not until ‘42-‘43 period they secured “New Production” rifles siphoned off regular Army production. While it is known they fielded anything they could get there hands on, the 7mm was logistically an...

    SS/SSR

    This is a very rare matching Waffen SS short side rail sniper converted in 1937. All early SS rifles were converted WW1 Gew 98’s made to K98k specifications. Original maker roll marks were “scrubbed” from the receiver. It is one of only a handful of matching rigs known. Equipt with Ajack 4 x...
