    K98k refresh

    Bought this Byf42 a few months back.

    It was a prime candidate to reverse the sporterisation being undrilled and the barrel and sights were unaltered.

    It also came with a very original looking sling.

    Off to the cops and a month and a half later I had a import permit for a stock. Sarco initially said they could send me one then went silent. IMA had some so I paid a bit extra for a "hand select" and this one turned up.
    They appear to be Yugo numbered and in tidy condition.

    Got the rest of the stock metal from a couple of good guys here on the forum and Ebay etc.

    Very pleased with the outcome, however there is not much change out of $1700, for the whole thing. Obviously some satisfaction from seeing it restored.

    Onto the next one now. A drilled post war Czech K98k that needs the same treatment but will get a repro sniper scope set-up.
