as an owner of a 1941 Gustolff werke K-98, I have to say I don't like the look of the cocking piece on the K-98 bolt.

Gustloff Werke from 41? Is that a "bcd" code?
The safety tab looks REALLY tacky.
TWI--what variety of K98k (factory/year) did y'all base your model off of?
yes, BCD is the one. Also I do believe there was an earlier number code too.

some of the later war safety tabs are like that....but I can assure you, the machining on my example is excellent.
You guys would not make good investigators would you! The bolt is wrong because on the underside of the round part of the cocking piece the metal that engages with the sear is flush with the end of the piece. Rather then inset like on the real K98.
In real life you can barely see this piece.
Should be apparent here:
The biggest problem with the cocking piece is that it protrudes too far. Plus it's all wrong when you fire it, and have an empty chamber.
Also while we are nitpicking, all of our K98's are cupped butt-plate models, there would be a large number of flat butt plate rifles floating around in 1942!

That's cool! I've got a bcd45 k98 that's my pride and joy.
