    Diana K98

    Just stripped my newly aquired K98 and look what I found. As far as I know it has not been apart so this is how it came from the factory.



    Looks like the remains of a small black plastic bag, the mind boggles.

    And look at the state of the end of the spring guide.

    Looks like someone was trying to dampen the twang!
    I don't see how that could have happened at the factory though. Where did you get it?

    I purchased S/h but the screws and all the fittings look perfectly original. Even if it had been apart, and it is highly unlikely, who on earth would stuff a plastic bag inside.

    Could the spring have had a plastic bag fitted at the factory that made the springs? To protect it and Diana employed a new guy and he left the bag on it?

    We got springs in the compressor place I worked at and some had a plastic bag on them as they were covered in a grease coating. Was to protect it or stop the grease going on the other parts of the boxes contents.

    I could imagine a total wombat thinking that wrapping the front third of the spring in a sandwich bag would make a good piston liner.

    Alternatively, it could have been used to smuggle a bag of drugs inside the piston.

    Maybe they come as a sealed unit, lol, It's quite funny how you find some gun internals, Have had some in the past filled with what looks like anchor butter, Must have been unsalted. Ain't seen one of these Guns in the flesh but they look rather nice,
