I just got an unroached Gew 88 and I was wondering what these unit markings on the barrel band meant. I can't find anything online.

To Thebes of my ability it reads:

B14RE3200

Ersatz Infantry Regiment 14, 3rd Company Rifle number 200
>>
>>33773640
Thanks a lot for the help, any idea why ersatz is abbreviated with a B?
>>
>>33773974
It isn't. The R means Infantry and the E next to it means Ersatz.
>>
>>33774007
Then what the heck does the B mean?
>>
>>33774354
Bavarian possibly?

actually it was most likely stored in a south american cave.
>>
>>33773637
that sight slider is worth around $100 if original, does it have a complete bolt?
>>
>>33774435
Yep, it's completely German, might be all matching, haven't checked the serial on the bolt. The bolt is shittily parkerized, but I can fix that.

It is an S conversion, but other than that it's as it was when manufactured in 1891.

Also, the trigger has basically no resistance until right before the break. Anybody know what's wrong? I'm assuming there's a broken spring but I don't know how to dump the action out and take a look.
>>
>>33773526
Bump

>>33774824
they come apart pretty easy, two screws in the bottom, the issue should be obvious once you get the magazine off. i probably have the part you need if you can't find it elsewhere.
>>
>>33775564
Alright, lemme take a look.

Well here I am, I don't think I'm getting access to the trigger group without taking the whole thing out of the stock, and I'm not exactly sure I can do that without fucking something up. I'll probably just take it to a gunsmith when I have time, the firing pin still falls all the same.
>>
>>33774800
It's all matching by the way, I checked the bolt, magazine, receiver, and barrel jacket.

I guess sometimes you gotta take a chance on a majorly sketchy gunsamerica seller.
>>
>>33775831
oh, i remembered it being accessible there, guess it's been awhile. you're only two barrel bands away from getting the stock off. probably just has a little broken spring in there.
