Right Here! I fought in Nam back in A company as a tunnel rat. I have over 1000s kills under my belt. It should have been more, but every time I tossed a gernade into a school classroom they counted it as one kill! Facist bastards!

The early German rifles had straight bolts...could easily be a WWI-mechanism bolted onto a WWII-stock during the final desperate months of the war.but the fact that the bolt handle is straight tells you that it isn't German. Could Yugo, Chech, or Turkish.
Could be, but the Turks made K98k's with straight bolt handles. That action looks like a K98k to me.
Definitely not a Kar. The Receiver housing is too large and the stock is standard K98 German. That's a gewehr/k98 match up, I just wish I could see the markings clearly to be more than 99.8% positive.

okay okay markings it has some....i will have to drag it back out....the men were guessing at what it was....they couldnt get the bolt to close....and were all like monkeys ....looking at the moon....i closed it..with little or no trouble by simply pushing the bottom plate down....they were amazed...like monkeys looking at a goddess...*hey its my mother fucking reality, not yours*
the other guns i could id fast..this one...i am stumped...not being a gun expert and all...we are having some trouble with the 22 auto...it keeps jamming...son thinks it has to do with how hard you pull bolt back...and all...i say no...its simply jamming....and needs to be looked at
so guys...what kinda bullets can we slap into this unknown gun and try to kill ourselves with?

okay this is what i know about the history of the gun...it arrived to the house in a film projector thing....it was the only foreign gun my father kept...the rest where his vintage hunting guns...i dont know why he got it..or why he kept it...or what it is...i have always assumed it was the russian gun....none of the rest are russian...but i never can remember who called it that....
i grew up in a home where you were never a step away from a gun of one type or another...i was in my early 20's when i realized that was not the norm...

My dad kept some dandy guns and I've got the only one that survived over the years.
I remember a similar looking rifle where the breech popped up when you pulled back the bolt. Mom moved after he died and the fuckers ripped it off.
My brother got his other guns and either sold them, gave them away, or destroyed them. Sad.
Nice family history there, stromboli.

On the receiver housing in front of the numbers (with the hh underneath) is what's left of a Waffenmark (Eagle and swastika) that someone tried to obliterate. In front of that on the base of the barrel is a small German eagle waffenmark. if you look on the stock you'll find similar markings, if they havent been erased. That is almost assuredly a Volksrum issued weapon.

By the pictures you provided it does not appear to be Turkish. Two dead giveaways are the cut in the stock for a sling and the obvious shape of the 'erased' Nazi waffenmark as well as what looks to be the early German eagle waffenmark on the barrel. Turkish Kars did not have any of the above items.
It is a WWI barrel and receiver/bolt fitted in a WWII K98 stock. My best educated guess is it was issued to a Volkstrum unit in the last weeks of WWII. If it came to your father via Russia then it was 'liberated' buy a Russian soldier then probably traded or sold to a GI some time after the war and before the start of the cold war.

no no he got the gun in vietnam..that is the only thing we are sure of...my father was there during tet
he did two tours...i am not sure which tour he was doing when he mailed this back.
the russian weapon is a misnomer...i have always heard it called that but i am not sure why or who called it that...my father knew more about guns...i just find it interesting that he kept this piece....
now riddle me this...can it be fired?

Aha! Russian capture during WWII then years later it was part of a weapons supply to the VC or NVA. That explains the Russian connection.
Can it be fired? I don't see why not, with a good cleaning and the proper ammo, though you might want to take it to a gun smith and have him/her check it out first. Just as an added precaution.

i am amazed what good condition all the guns were in...they had been oiled and stored...no rust...
ahhh if we were loading it...we would be putting in...what? lol
i would have a smith check it out...but they are worse than magpies...much easier to get the bullets...and go...."boys, i think this bitch can be fired" and let nature take its course lol
