1932 VKT M27

Post by Lee-online »

This VKT showed up Monday and by the end of the week another VKT showed up, a M39.

I'll keep them separate and post the M27 here.

Took it apart to inspect it and it was still covered in grease but there were signs of rust so I cleaned and lubed it.
Its in great shape, still has its wings and the bolt and trigger are like butter, so smooth.

Image

Not sure what this mark is on the barrel shank.
Image

Image

Antique receiver.
Image

Connector bar has numbers but don't match the rifle.
Image

Its wings.
Image

Image

Image

Stock maker stamp.
Image

shimmed stock.
Image

A few marks in the stock but no cracks.
Image

Sights.
Image

Made with just about every arsenal marked part.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Updated with popsicle sticks.
Image

It has a m39 trigger.
Image

Two together.
Image

Image

Image

Now to find a 1936 VKT M37. :crazy.gif:

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
