Title: Acquired model 1898 in need of parts - need help
Post by Chuck on Feb 7^th, 2010 at 10:36pm

Hi all,

I just picked up a model 1898 that is missing the entire bolt assembly, wood foregrip, and rear sight. I've had a sporterized 1898 since I was a kid, and have always loved it. I would like to bring this other one back to life, if I can find the parts without spending an arm/leg. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check the classifieds here and watch the online auctions, ebay, auction arms, gunbroker, and gun shows. If you are refering to the hand guard when you say "wood foregrip" be advised that they are sight specific. Check the photo section of our home page to see what I mean.
Good luck!

Also go to S&Sfirearms.com they have alot of repo parts, but some are original also. Might help!
