I could really use that scope and mounts for my original rifle. I need one with the ocular focus.

It looks like it has the Steyr low bolt handle cutout. Fantastic looking stock! Looks like the later war Steyr stock I (and every else) is looking for… lol

Here’s an original loading tool I picked up.

I kind of like the looks of grinding up some old bakelite and mixing it with epoxy or some other resin (maybe Brownells Acragls). Kind of like making your own wood filler with sawdust and wood glue. The trick will be finding out what bonds best with the original Durofol.

I'm curious who Pitfighter is sending hes handguard to to get it repaired. I;m certainly willing to give it a try but if someone is already out there with the skills and techniques then I would gladly pay them to get it right.

What is the best way to repair a Durofol handguard that is missing both rear ears? Is there anyone out there already doing this type of repair? Thanks for the help.

Here are about the best pictures I can take. Very intriguing both the hole and the machining pattern. Funny how I picked this up long, long ago just for spare parts.

Wouldn’t it be threaded if that was the case?

Here are some better pictures.

I’ll take more pics but the hole doesn’t go into the barrel at all. Just through the shroud.

I was getting something from the face if the closet and pulled out this G.41 barreled receiver I got long ago and was curious what the hole at the front of the receiver might be. It isn’t threaded and I don’t recall seeing it on other G.41’s. Any ideas?

Is the firing pin in the MP44 supposed to have some slight tension on it from where the extractor spring arm goes through its slot in the bolt or should it be entirely free floating. It seems like the extractor spring arm is putting the slightest bit of pressure if the firing pin so it isn’t...

Does anyone know when Walther transitioned to flat bottom stocks in 1944? Approximately what block? Thanks

I know it’s a total shot in the dark but looking for MP44 bolt #1002. Thanks

The At the Front repro looks really nice but now that we’ve seen an original they should be informed that it should have hooks on both ends.
