Pete:

Welcome to the club. I have a closet full of Mauser Kar98's and Ithaca doubles. Needless to say Mauser doesnt mess with the 98 anymore, and as for Ithaca - the current factory cannot even SPELL double, must less provide parts. A knowledgeable smith or even you if you are a DYI type, can deal with most of the small parts issues.

No factory parts available is just part of the double game.

If you want it, buy it and enjoy.

Regards

GKT
