zarusthra Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I have had a really nice 1915 erfurt G98 that has a lot of character and charm but has one problem - missing upper handguard! Anyone know someone who has one or anybody who makes them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know someone who has one or anybody who makes them? Hello zarusthra, I would think that you could have one made if you can't find an original. Considering where you live it should not be difficult to find someone. As a woodworker myself I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of very skilled craftsmen (and women) in your neck of the woods. Good luck and please keep us posted especially if you have one made. I think we need to be more aware and knowledgable of, what I will call, restoration work and the making of replacement parts. Very interesting stuff. Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting stuff. Regards Brian I agree on the craftsman made way if fixing the problem - what my issue is with that is not having one to use as a pattern! I have a wall of 98k's and their variants but alas only this g98 - i have more furniture on my 71/84's and 88 commisions! I am almost at the point of getting a second g98 complete to use for reference - but for the last several years I have only seen WAY overpriced examples at gun shows!

Anyone know someone who has one or anybody who makes them? I would imagine that they could be found at one of the many Gun Shows in the USA.
