Remembered Today:

Ersatz Gras on Gew 88


N White

Recommended Posts

Nothing particularly earthshaking here, but a friend recently bought a Gew 88, and brought it over for help slugging the bore. Since I still have not found the right one for me, I had never fitted my German modified Gras to a rifle, and before he left I made sure to try, as I was curious how well the conversion worked.

All I can say is wow. Fits more perfectly than a lot of factory bayonets I have.

For those interested in the rifle, it was an 1890 Amberg, non turked, and unmodified, aside from the top eject clip port cover.

Well, you should be scolded for the title :doh: ... 'Ersatz'?!!! It is a 'Beutewaffe' adapted to fit a Gew.88... But, I'll forgive you for what is an inadvertent mistake in the rush to post a superb photograph showing how these things go together, something I have not seen before. And I did like that comment about the fitting. So, all in all, many thanks! :thumbsup:
