Worth restoring?

[Beevis]

My mom inherited this Mauser from her late father, none of the family wanted it so she took it. I looked into it a bit and found that it is a desirable one, but missing some parts such as front sight hood and cleaning rod. Are there any companies that sell replacement parts or manufacture new ones? I’d like it to be as close to 100% as possible. Thanks

Nice little Czech carbine you have there. dot is the wartime factory code for Waffenwerke Bruenn AG, Brno, Czechoslovakia.

I used to have one. If I remember correctly, the cleaning rod is slightly shorter than the regular K98 ones, and the sight hood is different too.

Neat rifle, good luck on the parts hunt.

Nice rifle. You are missing a CLEARING rod. Armies started replacing cleaning rods with clearing rods in the 1890s via revised production specifications and in-service updates. Pull throughs made of braided line or steel chain became the standard for regular barrel cleaning. NCOs were supplied with handles for those clearing rods, two of which might be screwed together to obtain the necessary length.

I reccomend you ask the nice guys over at k98.

Definitely worth restoring and cleaning up.

Just be gentle on the finishes.

All day long. I have the same rifle that I'm slowing starting to restore as well. My bore is JACKED, and still shot a 1.2" group WITH IRONS at the range the other day, and my eyes are toast. I love my old Mausers.

Definitely worth restoring. If nothing else, to honor granddad.

G33/40’s were not produced in large numbers. What makes them very scarce is that the actions were coveted for building lightweight custom hunting rifles in the post war period.
Another factor is that any idiot could identify them due to them being so conspicuously marked.
Very scarce rifle.
