So I’ve found this colourised photo of a German soldier. Seems to be mid-late Second World War eastern front. (Sorry for bad quality). Looking at his rifle that’s lying in the haystack, the tip of the rifle seems to be very short. After the barrel band for the sling the rifle seems to be missing the second band or the H band and looks oddly short.

Now it’s either the perspective of the photo, or the rest of the barrel hidden in the haystacks.
Unsure about the rest hidden because it doesn’t seem like the rest is hidden.

Let me know what you guys think.

Sanded down the metal parts on my double bell gas replica to replicate worn blueing and match a few colourised footage from the eastern front 1943-45. New sling coming to also match the colour of the sling. The sanding down took a while since double bell pretty much paints over the steel parts instead of actually bluing it. So yeah, this is my replica of a kar98k eastern front 1943-45

Any suggestions or comments?

So I’ve got this DB mosin nagant 105. And it came with a screw that seems to be for the end of the barrel. The issue is that the insides of my barrel is completely smooth. No screws. So I was wondering how can it screw on if my guns barrel is smooth?
